As the obesity epidemic in both adults and children grows in the United States that leads to a lot of health issues in time, nutritionists and other health experts warn citizens about junk food dangers; however, a recent study has shown that not everyone with obesity suffers from the conditions related to it.
It seems like there's a fraction of the population whose health isn't affected by overeating and keeping a weight way above what it should be under regular standards; however, that not to say that there are no junk food dangers, but rather that there are people who are less affected by them.
According to Science Daily, the new study about junk food dangers came from the Washington University's School of Medicine, in a research paper entitled "Metabolically normal obese people are protected from adverse effects following weight gain" and published on the most recent edition of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
In the paper, it is revealed that not every body reacts the same way to obesity, as there's a minority of people who suffer from this disease whose tendencies toward developing conditions such as heart diseases, strokes and diabetes don't improve due to their weight, as had been previously assumed by many fractions of medicine and health that warn about the most severe junk food dangers in overeating.
According to The Telegraph, it seems that about a quarter of people became lucky in the genetics department, due to the fact that their metabolisms appear seemingly immune to the natural impact of an unhealthy diet, which can often lead to high cholesterol or high blood pressure, all of which are risk factors for serious illnesses like the ones mentioned above.
"This research demonstrates that some obese people are protected from the adverse metabolic effects of moderate weight gain, whereas others are predisposed to develop these problems," said Dr. Samuel Klein, the senior investigator in the junk food dangers research, according to Medical News Today. "This observation is important clinically because about 25% of obese people do not have metabolic complications. Our data shows that these people remain metabolically normal even after they gain additional weight."
