Darthrevan Supercharged July 13, 2012 Share July 13, 2012 Eating Western-style fast food can increase one's risk of developing diabetes and dying from heart disease, a local study has found. The research, a first that looks at the impact of fast food on Asians, found that those who eat fast food more than four times a week had an 80 per cent higher risk of dying of a heart disease. Those who eat fast food more than twice a week are also 30 per cent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Western-style fast food is categorised in this study as cheeseburgers or hamburgers, pizzas, hot dogs, french fries, ham sandwiches, and deep-fried chicken.

Kiadaw 6th Gear July 13, 2012 Share July 13, 2012 Not to say anything, but I do not think our char quek teow or curry or anyof the oily & salty local delights are any more heathy. Just that thes are not reserach as much as fastfood. I personally do not eat fast food or sinful local delights that often, maybe once a week I eat fast food. best is home make, or avoid processed or fried food imo.
