A research tidbit for Kimkins readers:

The heavier you are the more dangerous fast food becomes according to a recent study. Scientists at University at Buffalo discovered that after overweight participants at 1,800 calories of fast food their inflammation levels were significantly higher than normal weight participants who also ate 1,800 calories.

During high inflammation your body produces less HDL (good) cholesterol and more LDL & triglycerides (bad) which raises your risk of attack.
