Unfortunately, the health consequences of regular fast food consumption are significant. Becoming overweight or obese is the most obvious risk, but being fat isn't just a cosmetic concern. Overweight and obesity put you at risk for a host of other problems including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke and infertility.
