Junk food damages blood cells

-

EATING junk food damages red blood cells and forms cancer-causing mutations, scientists have found.

A study suggests that the damage is directly linked to the healthines­s of a person’s diet.

Researcher­s found that eating fatty foods rather than fresh fruit and vegetables leads to a higher number of mutations.

Dr Hasan Haboubi, a cancer researcher at Swansea University, said: “We have found that lifestyle, and especially diet, is intimately linked to the health of our tiniest cells.”
