Well you've probably heard about all the news about PepsiCo removing brominated vegetable oil from Gatorade which is some sort of chemical that is banned in the European Union for causing neurological damage. Welp. Not much more to say and I think that speaks for itself so c'ya.

Burgers cause asthma?
The BBC recently published a news story on a study done by professor Innes Asher from the University of Aukland in New Zealand, and professor Hywel Williams from the University of Nottingham in the UK. The study was done on 500,000 children in over 50 countries on the subject of fast food. They discovered that children who eat fast food seem to suffer from allergy like symptoms. They say this is because fast foods are often rich in different fats that are known to weaken the immune system, causing the children to develop allergies that they didn't have before. They say that this can be avoided by eating fruit, because fruits are rich in antioxidants. The risk of developing allergies increased by 27% in children 6-7. The risk increased by 39% in children in their early teens.
This story seems pretty legit. Some people have gotten cancer and diabetes from eating fast food in the past. So it's completely plausible that someone could develop an allergy from it. But don't let me be the judge. Check out the story for yourself here.
