Teenagers and young children who eat fast food could be increasing their risk of developing asthma, eczema and hay fever, according to a study published Monday in the British Medical Journal's respiratory journal Thorax.
"The cautionary notes are that this study showed an association, which does not always mean that the link between food and allergies is causal," Williams said. "It could be due to other factors linked to behavior that we have not measured, or it could be due to biases that occur in studies that measure disease and ask about previous food intake."
Study authors say if further research shows that consuming a lot of fast food actually does cause these types of allergies, it could have major public health implications because of the rise in fast food consumption globally.
Either way, Williams said, there is a take-home message for parents. He says you don't have to stop eating fast food entires, " but to eat a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and maybe less fast food - one or two times per week rather than three or more - if your child has allergies."

I do not like too much fast food (hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken, etc.)､ but my grandchildren like it and are eating well.
返信削除This research results are mention to relevant of fast food and allergy, but I am worried about the impact on obesity rather.
We always eaten hamburger at lunch when we went to America last year. A large amount of raw vegetables inserted in among them, but I was surprised at the size of the whole. Americans were eating a huge hamburger like commonplace which we eaten one at two people
We need to be careful about fast food for the young generation who are grown up with Americanized life style.
削除We'd better go back to eat more Japanese slow food.
I think so too. We would like to spread the good food culture of Japan to people of all over the world not only our Japanese.
返信削除I'm proud of having our good tasty and healthy food (^-^)/
削除My daughter was atopy in her child age. Then my son was`t.
返信削除I think that risk for allergies is not only foods but also environment and each constitution.
But foods are very important for people.
I am going to cook a balanced diet by myself.
Indeed, the allergen which causes allergy is not only food but complexedly melted in the air, touching to the skin and come into our body. As long as we eat, breathe and touch we can't avoid allergy. Then we can choose and limit what we take in.
