The harm of milkshakes
It is believed that milkshakes prepared in fast food establishments contain a huge amount of sugar and fat. Their constant or frequent use can cause diabetes and obesity, which is a big threat to health. American scientists have found that milkshake, the recipe of which includes sugar and sweet additives, causes some kind of dependence in children, in which the child can not stop, that is, the more he drinks, the more he wants more.
Also, American scientists also attribute harm to the fact that cocktails most often drink dishes that are served in fast-food establishments. Foods such as french fries, chicken nuggets, hamburgers and hot dogs are cooked in large amounts of fat, which is also a harmful addition to a milk drink and has a negative effect on the gastrointestinal tract. But these studies are talking about fast food drinks. Most likely, a milkshake made at home from selected and fresh products with a minimum dose of sugar, or maybe even without it, will not have a bad effect on the body.
