Fast Food for all

Some Swedish researchers have accused the meals that are consumed, even worse if a regular basis, in the so-called Fast Food. These researchers argued that it could exist a certain correlation between the risk of developing Crohn's disease or ulcerative reticulate and the introduction of large amounts of carbohydrates, likely happen when you eat their meals in fast food.The Stockholm study involved 152 people suffering from Crohn's disease, 145 people with ulcerative reticulate and 305 healthy
subjects. In response to questions about their eating habits showed that those who had the habit to consume at least 2 meals a week at a fast food,demonstrating a 3.4 times more likely than controls to develop Crohn's disease and a 3.9 times greater risk to the reticulate ulcerous. Foods put on trial from this study are especially hamburger and hot dog with mustard and ketchup, French fries with different sauces and beverages called "soft" rich of sugar.Of course not everyone shares this view, in fact, American researchers claim that was never noticed any real correlation between a particular food onset of these diseases.Some Japanese scholars have made interesting discoveries: they have seen that, following a diet similar to that of Zen monks, based mainly on the consumption of wheat and flour, it changes significantly the level of plasma cholesterol and thus lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease. This study was performed on 22 subjects novices who, after going into a temple, have followed the typical diet of the monks: the result obtained, after a year of this diet which included the introduction of 3 mg . Cholesterol per day compared to an average of 266 mg. diets before, was to have a reduction of cholesterolaemia drastic.This said, however, considered that the Japanese, already at the start of the experiment, had the values of cholesterol significantly lower compared to the standard medium.The recommended level of intake of cholesterol was determined in 300 mg / day for adults (WHO 1990), while the cholesterol content in the traditional Italian diet was estimated at 317 mg / day based on analytical determinations (Pizzoferrato & Nicoli 1994 ).
