Avoid Five Fatty Fast-Food Flops This Summer, Physicians Warn
WASHINGTON, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Physicians Committee, a nonprofit of 17,000 doctors, has reviewed recently released summer fast-food items and is urging consumers to avoid the five least healthy menu items or, the "Five Fatty Fast-Food Flops" of 2022. They are:
- "Summer 2022 is no different, and consumers deserve to know the truth about these items' poor nutritional content."
- "That is essentially double the amount of saturated fat the American Heart Association suggests adults consumer each day."
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , more than 42% of U.S. adults are now obese.
- Among several items added for summer 2022, the Physicians Committee suggests that consumers avoid the "Five Fatty Fast-Food Flops," designated as such because of the exorbitant amounts of cholesterol, fat, calories, and sodium per item.
