Burgers, children and asthma

Children who eat three or more hamburgers a week are more likely to suffer from asthma and wheezing, researchers say.

This situation is compounded as additional risk preferring a diet rich in meat, apart from fruits and vegetables, according to a study that looked at 50,000 children from 20 countries.

Parents were asked about their children’s eating habits and whether they had asthma or wheezing, and it appeared that those who ate a diet rich in fruits were less likely to complain of wheezing in rich and poor countries, according to a report published in the journal Thorax.

It also found that eating three or more hamburgers a week was associated with increased risk, especially in rich countries.

The researchers recommend consumption of fruits and vegetables in children, since they contain antioxidants and other biologically active factors that can contribute as a favorable effect against asthma.
