Different forms of empty calories
effects of empty calories on the body
Empty calories can cause a lot of health risks. One of the risks being obesity which is one of the main problems have we have in society today. Many people believe that because its cheaper and smaller that it is healthier that many other foods. Another risk would be heart problems which if obesity is already a problem then a heart condition that is bad is just putting yourself at risk for death. A bad diet can also lead to type 2 diabetes which can be fixed but only with a diet and exercise change. Empty calories will also, but obviously, make you fat and nobody likes being fat due to a bad diet.
