New Worldwide Study Links Burger Diet With Asthma And Wheeze Risk In Children

Desist from allowing your dear kids to splurge on burgers if you're caring enough... According to a large international study, published in Thorax, which based its findings on data collected on 50,000 children between 8 and 12 spanning rich and poor nations across the world, eating three or more burgers a week can expose a child to the risk of contracting asthma and wheeze. On the other hand, a Mediterranean diet, replete with fruit, vegetables and fish, appears to push back that risk. The susceptibility looks to be more pronounced for kids in developed countries. The researchers also found that high fruit intake as also a diet rich in cooked green vegetables and fish protected children from wheeze. It is, furthermore, suspected that burger consumption might also be indicative of other unhealthy lifestyle factors, commonly unique to affluent nations, which provide fertile ground for heightened asthma risk.
