A hot dog with soda takes up an hour of life, scientists have found

According to their research, eating one hot dog shortens life by an average of 36 minutes, and if you wash it down with soda, it will shorten life by another 12 minutes. It has also been found that bacon and cheeseburgers take six and nine minutes of life, respectively.

Scientists analyzed about six thousand food products produced in the United States. Their harmfulness to health was assessed based on the content of additives, fats, calories and sugar. As a result, it turned out that such popular products as hot dogs, pizza, macaroni and cheese and many others significantly reduce life expectancy.

However, it turned out that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches contribute to longevity. The researchers also found that some fish species can extend their life by 28 minutes.

According to scientists, even small changes in diet can significantly improve health. Every 10 percent of calories obtained from fruits and vegetables instead of processed meat can prolong life for the same 48 minutes that a hot dog with a sweet soda reduces it, writes mir24.
