    fast foods contain trans fatty acids . these can harm you blood vessels, increase your cholesterol level , as well as fat percentage, leaving you to gain weight. it can also cause indigestion, acidity, flatulance. these foods are high in carbs and fat content , can also lead to increase in the blood sugar level. they cause irritbility and sleeplessness on the long run as these foods lack essential nutrients. they can lead to bowel disturbances and even IBS. constipation as it also lacks in the fiber content.

    I completely agree with Nidhi. Some of the harmful effects of eating fast foods are as follows-

    * Lack of energy-Junk foods do not contain any nutrients that are beneficial to the human body. In most cases, these foods are filled with harmful carbohydrates, fats and cholesterol that do not provide any useful energy. As a result, somebody consuming junk food has reduced level of essential nutrients thereby causing weakness in the body.
    * Heart Diseases-Junk foods have been identified as a major cause of heart diseases including myocardial infraction, cardiac arrest and atherosclerosis. This is due to the fact that junk food contains excessive amount of low-density lipoproteins and cholesterol that get deposited on the inner linings of blood vessels. This result in formation of plaques and the heart is required to put an extra effort for pumping blood through the arteries. Presence of fat in the blood also causes reduced oxygen levels. Another harmful factor present in junk foods is excess concentration of sugars and salt. Excessive concentration of sodium ions causes an increased heart blood pressure.
    Liver Failure-Even liver gets damaged due to presence of ingredients such as fat, cholesterol and salt inside the junk foods.
    Diabetes: Junk foods also cause damage to the pancreas resulting in insulin-dependant diabetes mellitus (IDDM).

    The reason behind this is fast foods joints generally use the oil which are reheated over and over again. Repeated heating of oil converts fats into trans fatty acids which is not good for health. Sometimes, foods are even half cooked and that might pose serious health concerns.
