In the Food Intake section of the questionnaire, The Analyst™ will ask the following question about fast food consumption:

How often do you consume fast food?

Possible responses:

→ Never / don't know
→ Once per week or less
→ 2-3 times per week
→ 4-7 times per week
→ A lot / more than once daily

The Diagnostic Process

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate no fast food consumption, fast food consumption or high fast food consumption, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider possibilities such as:

Consequences of Poor Diet

Everyone should stay away from fast food and deep fried foods as much as they possibly can because of the trans fat content. The National Academy of Science recently released a damning report on these toxic fats and concluded that the only safe intake is "zero".

Inadequate Fiber Intake

Risk Of Premature Death

Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition on June 7, 2017 suggests that those who consume fried potatoes (French fries, hash browns, or any other type) two or more times per week have double the chance of dying when compared to those who eat none. The reason is not clear, but the correlation was significant.
