This is research from (NaturalNews) Researchers..the research state that  "Eating fast food regularly increases the risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes. A recent study done by Julie R Palmer and her colleagues found that the consumption of restaurant foods significantly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes in African American women. Another study found that young adults who frequent fast food restaurants are more likely to become obese in later life.

About one-third of adults in the United States are obese, and the prevalence of fast food stores and regular consumption of fast food is considered as one of the major reasons for obesity. A single meal from a fast food centre sometimes contains enough calories needed for an entire day.

Julie R Palmer and her colleagues studied 44,072 participants between 30 and 69 years of age who were not diabetic at the initial stage. It was found that 2873 of them developed type 2 diabetes over a period of 10 years. The incidence of diabetes was greater among women who ate take-out food more than twice a week. Another important finding by the study was that eating fried chicken and hamburgers significantly increases the risk for diabetes. Women who ate ate fast food burgers or fried chicken were 40% to 70% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than others who never ate such food.

The study also found that the average body mass index (BMI) of women who ate burgers, fried chicken or Chinese food more than once a week was higher than women who never ate fast foods. They also gained more weight over ten years than the second group. Of the 2873 women who developed diabetes, blood sugar levels were higher in the women who consumed burgers and fried chicken than others who ate other types of fast foods.

The research above is base on oversea countries and next article is research done in Malaysia..In Malaysia they debates on Fast Food ads because  too many ads will influence people especially kids to eat fast food..for example, kids want to eat fast food because it include toys for them..many fast food brand rushed out their ads to influence people to buy their product..too many ads will make they have many choice to eat..

The Malaysian Information Ministry also made it clear that besides fast food produced by large companies and those under franchise, the authorities would also have to monitor and enforce laws on the use of fast-food ingredients that could be detrimental to health and of those that were produced by small companies and unregistered businesses, to ensure that they comply with the permissible standards.

This is because of the emergence of various “instant” local delicacies in the local consumption market such as sandwiches, curry puffs and other confectionary items, to name a few, that contain preservatives to make the food tastier and last longer, which could be harmful to health.

The banning of advertising of fast food products or “the silent killer”, aptly described by the Malaysian Health Ministry was primarily motivated by the increasing number of Malaysians suffering from “affluent” diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension causes and the critical rise in obesity among children and adults.

A statistical report provided by Weight Management Information Centre revealed that one in every five adult Malaysians is either overweight or obese. Generally, a person who is more than 20 percent above the maximum healthy body weight is considered obese. In Malaysia, the percentage of adult women who are obese is considerably higher (7.9 percent) than men (4.7 percent). Presumably many more are overweight. Although our figures on obesity are good compared with Australian or American women (13.2 and 41 per cent respectively), it is worse than Thailand, Philippines, Japan and China.
