does junkfoods help?

They are approved because one of them won't hurt us, but a lot of them sure will! They contain more fat and more sugar than most other prepared foods to make them appealing to people. Most people go for taste instead of nutritional value, especially in fast food. They don't put anything in these foods that could harm us by eating just one or even a few of them. But, over time, they will make us gain weight, make our sugar levels go up, cause heart problems from the fat and cholesterol, etc. Yes, junkfoods can make us sick if we keep eating them on a regular basis. One every now and then won't hurt us, though, as long as the other foods we eat are healthy.

Junk food is extremely bad for you because it is full of chemicals, fat and sugar and not much else. The food is approved because it makes money and BFAD approves it because the government does not believe in regulating industry. The government believes in self regulation. The industry only cares about money, not health. It is up to the people to stop eating it but they won't because the food is made to taste nice and is kept cheap with low wages.

yes i believe that they are harmful to us .these junk food are made of items that are not good for health .they spoil our body.

This is a rather naive question. Junk food is extremely cheap to produce because junk food places pay very poor wages and buy the cheapest possible ingredients. It is very easy to make this food palatable by adding all those things we crave, like sugar and fat, and junk food makes enormous amounts of money for people who couldn't care less because their market, being aimed at the young, is unlikely to ever dry up. It is a licence to print money. Lash

Well..I do beleive the junkfood will make you sick,if you have too much in a day...or u have junkfood all the time..... anyway people know junkfood is bad for our health,but we still have it....because they are yummy and we like them so much.... just try not to have too much.so they wont make you sick... yes...believe in me... have a nice day tang

Junk foods do not help me. I will get sick if I eat junk food too much. It is not health if you eat junk foods. People usually eats junk food because he/she doesn't have much time to cook. So he/she eats junk foods because he/she is in hurry. I prefer to eat my own food than junk foods.

It has been proven that you are able to eat what you like and stay healthy as longs you eat everything in moderation

Well junk foods are not good. They are junks so they are fitted to the garbage and not in our stomach. However there are people who like to make bin in their stomach so they consume a lot of junks. It all depends on the person if he wants to make himself a big garbage. If he does, then he can then he can always go eating all the junks around. Now do these junks make us sick. Yes they do. Don't you think this hepatitis is not a proof that junkfood make us sick?

The regulatory agencies will approve of any food product as long as it has been proved that it would not cause any immediate medical illness. A little 'junkfood' is OK, but a steady diet of only junkfood would leave you malnurished. You need a balanced diet of a variety of foods to remain healthy.

Hi becnh83, Junk food are very bad for you,its nothing but fat in them, they sell it because they are making money from it, kids are getting fat on them too. Tamara

You are a very kin observant. That's a good attitude. Well to answer your question, yes, BFAD approved that food thats why it is allowed in the market. Actually junk foods do have some nutrients that people can have once they eat thatsuch as vitamins and minerals. But as what they had said, too much is bad. Therefore, whe we ate too much of junk foods everyday as if it you make it as your meal, then that is the time that you can aquire diseases such as Urinary Tract infection. So it only means one thing, we cac eat junk foods but we should see to it that we are just eating the right amout.:-)

Junkfoods aren't good for the health so also are many other things,but since some people just like to have it,therefore there most be someone ready to provide it while at the same time make some earnings...and ofcourse the government will also get its share of the earnings through VAT or some other form of tax.

Well, we all know that junkfoods contain a lot of ingredients that will harm the body, like MSG..Although it may appear in their products to have some good effects in the body, it's still inevitable that it will harm the body if too much with it. It's approved for the reason that it makes the life of people efficient in terms of food. Of course, it's not always bad to eat junkfood in the first place as long as you increase your fluid intake after. But too much junkfood without drinking water for compensation will surely result to a damaging body system.

for me i think it will not help to strengthen our health,and aside from that we can have many diseases from eating too much of junk foods such as urinary tracking infection,loosing of appetite in our meal,maybe we can eat very seldom and abusive.

junkfoods donot make us sick but they are not healthy.they kind of give temporary satiation without giving any energy.

There is a saying that you should do everything in moderation. That includes the foods that many call junkfoods. I do not know what BFAD is, so I cannot comment on that. If you eat a lot of any one thing you are taking away nutrition from your body that you need to get from other foods. Junk foods are good for a treat, but other foods provide better nutrition.

junk foods are not healthy in terms of health. one way still they help are they are such we like to take them. so they give pleasures. it is sure.

i dont think it makes us sick unless thats all we eat. thats what they say its not good to just eat that. its approved because its ok for just snacks.

i say too much junk food is not for our health,and it may make us sick.i think you asked a good question.junk food usually taste good. and few people dont love junk food.personally, i think that we need junk food to enrich my menue.and junk food do have nutrients, only they have less .it all depends on what kind of junk food.

Well,it does harm to our health if we have too mch of this kind of foods.Everything could be the cause of our sickness if we had too much of it,even something we eat or drink everyday.As for me,I like junkfoods,but I don't eat them too often and I think it does no good to my health but cost my money.Admittedly,junkfoods are delicious,so many people especially young women like them.These foods,without exception, contain preservatives which are harmful to our health.And some studies show that it may accelarate our senescence.So,don't eat too much,my friends!
