Saturated fats is another factor that causes diseases and is in most fast food. More saturated fats will cause plaque to start to build up in your arteries and could cause blood to stop going through to certain parts in the body. Unhealthy food usually contains high amounts of salt which assumably tastes good for most human beings. High sugar is basically the same and is in sodas, chocolates and other unhealthy foods. High salt could cause high blood pressure while high sugar could cause more amounts of insulin made by the pancreas causing the blood sugar to go high then low. Empty calories are another element in unhealthy foods and contain little minerals and little vitamins but are found a lot in unhealthy food.
