This Is the #1 Unhealthiest Fast-Food Item In America, Dietitian Says This newly-released sandwich hardly meets the modern nutrition standards.
eat this not that ^

Few things in life give us greater pleasure than quenching our hunger with some freshly made fast food. But whether it's a bag of hot, crispy fries, a juicy burger, or a giant slushy, more often than not, you're signing up to indulge. And you can assume that the better something tastes, the more nutritionally devastating secrets it holds.

"These four things are contributors to heart disease when consumed in excess," Goodson explained. "And typically when foods are extremely high in these categories, they are likely low in fiber and other nutrients. A good rule of thumb is that if you are eating half your daily calories and more than half of the recommended daily fat and sodium intake in one item, it is likely not the best choice."

So, based on these standards, what is the unhealthiest fast-food item in America?

And the unhealthiest fast-food item is . . . Goodson pointed to both Wendy's Big Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Triple and Shake Shack's Link Burger Triple as runner-ups, but ultimately it was the relatively new Burger King offering that took the crown. The Spicy Ch'King Deluxe Sandwich, which came out just last summer, is just about as unhealthy as an item can get. It rings in at 1,499 calories, 149 grams of total fat, and 4,755 milligrams of sodium.

Why should we believe this?

Science is no longer about gaining new knowledge, it is about doing or saying whatever those that provide the money want them to do or say.

Scientist have become prostitutes only it is the people that are getting screwed while they collect the money.

True. However none of these death-creations has any relationship with the term ‘moderation’.

How come the stuff you get in the store never looks like the promotional photos?

Chicken stops being good for you the minute you bread it and deep fry it. IE the minute you make it taste good.

I have a question for Amy Goodson, MS, RD, CSSD, LD.

Which food exactly should I eat so that I will live forever?

Amen & Hallelujah! I struggle to understand why “dieticians” and the US government still push the Saturated Fat Fallacy.
