TORONTO — A single junk-food meal rich in saturated fat is detrimental to the health of the arteries, researchers in Canada said.

Endothelial function is closely linked to the long-term risk of developing coronary artery disease.

[eyeroll] OTOH, maybe there is a lesson to be learned here. Maybe even ONE TERM is too much to endure from a nanny-state collectivist commie.

All junk science causes, even, more damage, to each and every individual who believes in junk science!

So....they tested 28 men out of a population of 3.75 million people in Montreal and now pronounce a single serving of junk food can (as in maybe/might/could) damage arteries?

ROFLMAO!

Talk about uncertain certainties....these people wouldn't recognize a scientific fact if it bit them on their liberalized socialist backsides.

I've eaten cottontail rabbit, jackrabbit, snails, rattlesnake, migratory and non-migratory birds and a lot of other things I probably shouldn't mention.

I'm still here and still ornery and angry.
