Eating fast food is more dangerous for our body even than diabetes, new research shows. This unhealthy food causes destructive damage to the kidneys. Experts compared the effects of high-fat foods on important organs to those of type 2 diabetes. The results showed that every day we slowly commit suicide, running to a nearby shop for lunch to eat a quick breakfast.
The scientists came to the startling results after a series of experiments with laboratory rats. They put the rodents on a five-week diet, during which time they fed them only chocolate, candy and foods high in saturated fat.
The researchers then analyzed the changes in the animals' bodies, paying special attention to blood sugar levels and accumulated glucose in the kidneys. High glucose levels are a major cause of diabetes. However, they also lead to damage to a number of important organs even without the appearance of a dangerous disease.
Analysis of the data showed a serious disturbance in glucose transporters and regulatory proteins (used to absorb sugars in the body) in rodents. Experts believe that the same results can be seen in humans if they decide to put on such an unhealthy diet.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin or does not respond properly. When this happens, blood sugar levels rise, which severely damages the kidneys. However, with the new data it is clear that the same effect can be obtained for such important organs without diabetes, but simply if we overdo it with snacks rich in harmful fats and sugars.
Modern man consumes more and more processed foods, fast food, which are rich in fat. It has already been clearly proven that their excessive intake leads to an increase in obesity among the population and diabetes. However, our research shows that while genetics may be to blame for diabetes, frequent consumption of fast food will harm you in the same way without getting sick from it, and the blame for this will be solely yours, says the study leader. Dr. Harvey Chinger of England-Ruskin University of Biomedicine in Bristol.
