June 29/Charlotte, N.C./Medical Daily -- A diet high in animal fat is not as bad as a junk food diet. Eating foods like salami, cookies and chips increases the chances of obesity-induced inflammation in humans, says a new study.
Junk food coupled with a sedentary lifestyle can make a person gain weight along with other genetic factors and hormonal imbalances. This happens because fast foods are essentially foods packed with energy, energy that is not used by the body, with almost zero nutritional value.
