Eating a hot dog could take 36 minutes off your life, study says

ホットドッグを一つ食べると、寿命が36分減るそうです。

You may want to skip the toppings on your next hot dog, or skip it altogether: Health researchers at the University of Michigan have found that eating a single hot dog could take 36 minutes off your life.

加工肉に加えて、ナトリウムとトランス脂肪酸が体に悪いのですね。

One of the foods researchers measured was a standard beef hot dog on a bun. Its 61 grams of processed meat resulted in the loss of 27 minutes of healthy life, but when ingredients like sodium and trans fatty acids were factored in, the final value was 36 minutes lost. (CNN)

sodium : ナトリウム
trans fatty acids : トランス脂肪酸

Consumption of foods such as nuts, legumes, seafood, fruits and non-starchy vegetables, on the other hand, have positive effects on health, the study found.

legume : マメ
starchy : でんぷん質の

加工肉が体に悪くて、ナッツ、豆類、シーフード、フルーツ、でんぷん質でない野菜は体に良いのは、皆知っていますよね。見出しだけが衝撃的でした。見出しとしては上手い！ということですね。
