Although fast food brands have put in efforts to minimize the use of additives and preservatives, yet the contents still pose a threat to human health. Two ounces of broiled pork contains 40 milligrams of sodium but the same amount of bologna contains over 500 milligrams Potato chips have very high salt content. Many fast foods including milk shakes, pastries, colas, and ketchups are loaded with sugar. Even French fries have a sugar coating that browns when it hits the hot grease Fast foods are rich in protein. One large burger or sandwich may contain more than half the protein we need in a day.
Excess protein can strain the kidneys, convert into fat, and promote calcium loss from the bones.
