Cholesterol and Fast Food
Some writers say that if you are really athletic you should avoid fast food. There just are too many fats especially saturated fats in meats and French fries. I’ve always subscribe to this philosophy.
Additionally the soda pops come in large and enormously large sizes. This much sugar and caffeine entering your body at one time is a shock to the system. I’ve read that some writers have said that if you order the food and not the soft drink that comes with it, you’ll be fine. This sounded to me like a represenative of the fast food company making a (positive)statement. I think it is bunk.
Fast food is probably the biggest contributor to the obesity epidemic that we have today. The saturated fats and trans fats keep the customer’s cholesterol way too high for heart-healthy living.
