Named the most harmful snack

Sandwiches with sausage and cheese are considered not the healthiest breakfast option, and similar snacks throughout the day can lead to obesity. Endocrinologist and nutritionist Anton Polyakov told aif.ru about this.

"What is any sandwich? It's bread, which typically contains yeast and various leavening agents, and its quality often leaves much to be desired. Sausage products have long been classified as risk-forming products, and their regular consumption increases the risk of cancer," noted Polyakov.

Among cheese products, there are many counterfeit items where hybrid products are used instead of milk fats, the doctor added.

"But even if it's natural cheese of good quality, many people have poor tolerance to cow's milk protein casein. Because of this, sandwiches with sausage and cheese can cause problems with the gastrointestinal tract and edema syndrome. In general, sandwiches are a very high-calorie snack that provides very moderate satiety for a short period of time," said Polyakov.

Snacking on sandwiches throughout the day can lead to excess weight and obesity.

"Therefore, using this type of snack should only be done in the most extreme case, when there is absolutely nothing else at hand."
