I would say that eating junk food when your younger can cause problems in later life. Firstly eating junk will slow down your metabolism so then you start to gain weight, even more so for people that don't exercise. Also eating junk food can cause stomach ulcers, then later you will start to develop stomach disorders like GERD, Bad acid reflux. These diseases can lead to throat cancer. What happens is the acid reflux starts to shoot up your esophagus and starts to cause scarring after time. If you get an infection in your esophagus this is where cancers can form. When you say junk food, most people assume your referring to McDonalds. But it goes much much deeper than this. If you research nutrition and food you will see that 99% of food in the supermarket is classed as junk food. Anything in a tin, is loaded with chemical additives and preservatives. Anything frozen, same thing. Most food products these days even breads etc contain, Corn Syrup, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans fats etc, all this is considered junk and is really really bad for you. The next time you go to the supermarket, take a walk down any aisle and check some ingredients, i guarantee you will find Corn Syrup, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans fats in nearly every single product you find. Sad but very true. This is why America has an obesity epidemic. The only way to make sure youo eat well is getting fruits and vegetables and foods with no additives or preservatives. If there are preservatives at least make sure they are natural preservatives. Consider Organic food that is USDA approved. Although not 100%, still better than 99% of the other food out there. I would say this type of eating has been going on for well over 50 years, which is probably why we are seeing diseases now that we never saw when we where kids. ADD, ADHD etc etc. Good Luck, do your research you will see i am right.

the high levels of sodium will cause you to develop High blood pressure which leads to tears in the vascular system and those tears accumulate plaque,which then clogs arteries leading to stroke,heart attacks,fatigue and premature aging, There are also trans fats that cause obesity,which can lead to low self esteem and diabetes,which leads to amputation and death
