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.”
