Best Answer

Eating junk food is really unhealthy for you because they can ruin your teeth, not good for your body, has too much sugar and fat and it's usually high in calories.

Junk food usually contains a large amount of salt, sugar or unhealthy fats. It is usually high in calories and low in essential nutrients. Junk food is bad for kids and adults alike.

On top of all that, because it tastes good, people eat far too much of it than they should.

Junk food is very common for many teenagers and kids to eat. It may taste well, but it has a lot of health concerns sticking to it.

Junk food might lead to

Unhealthy and dry skin- Junk food has very few nutritional values such as vitamins. If people (depending on the body metabolism) do not eat enough vitamins and eat junk food frequently, they will not have enough vitamins for their skin.

Fats and calories- Fast food items have a lot of calories and unknown ingredients that are said to cause childhood obesity as well as adult obesity. The excess of eating oils and sugars from junk foods can lead to fat problems.

Addiction- Once a person eats a lot of junk food at once, they could get addictions. They would want more and more to eat, even everyday.

Gas- This may sound preposterous or ridiculous, but it is said that gas problems are caused by junk food intake. Junk food has various kinds of bad ingredients and products added inside that causes waste gas in your body.

Preservatives or chemicals- Some Junk food has or contains preservatives or harmful chemicals added inside.

Food coloring- Avoid too much intake of hot cheetos, candies etc as these have quite a lot of food coloring added on it.
