Fried and highly processed food can damage the lungs. This was stated in a study published in the journal Food & Function. Scientists conducted an experiment on mice, and gave them junk food. It turned out that rodents fed such food showed damage to lung tissue and signs of systemic inflammation. In addition, the composition of the bacteria in their lungs has changed. The number of pathogenic microorganisms increased, and the number of bacteria participating in the regulation of immune processes decreased. The researchers also identified metabolic disorders in the lung tissue. As a result, they suggested that long-term consumption of such foods could have an adverse effect on lung health. - Another reason was found to give up fast food.
