In Jordan, weekly consumption of pizza was accompanied by a 198% increase in cancer. In Jordan, consumption of 3 to 4 portions of falafel per week was accompanied by **a 168% increase** in cancer.\*\* In Jordan, consumption of 3 to 4 portions of cake per week was accompanied by a 154% increase in cancer.

In Iran, snack consumption was accompanied by a 99% increase, or a doubling of anxiety.

A study of 32 countries found a positive association between fast food consumption and suicide attempts in 26, or 81% of them. [image] (McDonald’s so-called “Happy” Meal, guaranteed to increase stress by 147% and increase suicide attempts by 42%) In Jordan, consumption of 1 to 2 portions of cake per week was accompanied by a 75% increase in cancer. In Iran, snack consumption was accompanied by a 73% increase in stress. In Iran, fast food and fried food consumption was accompanied by **a 61% increase** in depression. In Jordan, consumption of 1 to 2 portions of chocolate per week was accompanied by **a 54% increase** in cancer. In a study of 26 countries, consumption of fast food was accompanied by **a 42% increase** in suicide, vs. those who did not consume fast food (11.8% vs. 8.3%). In Iran, snack consumption was accompanied by a 36% increase in depression. In Jordan, weekly consumption of hamburgers was accompanied by a 28% increase in cancer. A study of eight different fast food hamburgers brands published in the Annals of Diagnostic Pathology found that the burgers were 50% water, 2.1 to 14.8% meat, with the balance comprised of connective tissues, blood vessels, peripheral nerve, adipose tissue, plant material, cartilage, bone, and intracellular parasites known as Sarcocytes. - **THE ARTICLES** In January 2020, first author Zohreh Sadat Sangsefidi published “Dietary habits and psychological disorders in a large sample of Iranian adults: a population-based study” in Annals of General Psychiatry. In it, he said “fast food and fried food consumptions were associated with increased depressive [odds ratio (OR) = 1.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18–2.20] and stress symptoms (OR = 2.47, 95% CI 1.46–4.18), respectively. Eating breakfast had a protective role on stress features (OR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.39–0.92), while snack intake was related to higher odds of depressive (OR = 1.36, 95% CI 1.01–1.84), anxiety (OR = 1.99, 95% CI 1.55–2.56) and stress symptoms (OR = 1.73, 95% CI 1.23–2.54). There was also an inverse association between sweetened drink consumption and depressive (OR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.59–0.96), anxiety (OR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.62–0.93), and stress features (OR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.55–0.97; OR = 0.63, 95% CI 0.48–0.82).” In Iran, fast food and fried food consumption was accompanied by a 61% increase in depression. In Iran, fast food and fried food consumption was accompanied by a 147% increase in stress. In Iran, snack consumption was accompanied by a 36% increase in depression. In Iran, snack consumption was accompanied by a 99% increase, or a doubling of anxiety. In Iran, snack consumption was accompanied by a 73% increase in stress. On January 22, 2020, the Journal of Affective Disorders published “Fast food consumption and suicide attempts among adolescents aged 12-15 years from 32 countries”, by first author Louis Jacob. The study goes on to say “Overall, the prevalence of fast food consumption was high (53.5%) and the proportion of suicide attempts was higher among consumers of fast food compared to non-consumers (11.8% vs. 8.3%). Of the 32 countries included in the study, a _ **positive association** _ between fast food consumption and suicide attempts was found in 26 countries although this was not statistically significant in all countries. The pooled OR (95% CI) based on a meta-analysis was 1.31 (1.17-1.46).” Did you notice how he took pains to describe it only-generally as “a positive association”, and didn’t provde the clear statistic for the lay reader? In a study of 32 countries, consumption of fast food was accompanied by **a 42% increase** in suicide, vs. those who did not consume fast food (11.8% vs. 8.3%). A study of 32 countries found a positive association between fast food consumption and suicide attempts in 26, or 81% of them.
