TORONTO — A single junk-food meal rich in saturated fat is detrimental to the health of the arteries, researchers in Canada said.

That's why you don't eat just one.

I’d guess Nigam and colleagues are card carrying members of PETA.

Driving a car is detrimental to it’s tires.
What else does one need to know?

No need for anyone to answer.

The Mediterranean meal was composed of salmon, almonds and vegetables cooked in olive oil...

But there are no salmon in the Mediterranean Sea.

What’s “junk food”? Anything with fat in it?

By the way, the human body NEEDS fat to dissolve some vitamins - they simply can’t dissolve in water (”polar” vs. “non-polar” molecules).

Perhaps this “institute” can also explain why northern explorers could subsist for months on a high-fat diet without dropping dead - or western explorers (and natives) subsisting on pemmican (1/2 fat, 1/2 berries).

“But there are no salmon in the Mediterranean Sea. “

Probably imported from China that were raised in a tank and fed human crap!

Which is the higher risk: Driving your car five miles to McDonalds and back or eating the Quarter Cheese meal and Coke you bought there?
