Russian McDonalds is more healthy. Hurah!

“Trans fats” content in McDonalds and KFC foods depends on the country where these fast food chains operate. Danish scientists came to this conclusion after studying food in 43 fast food restaurants in 20 countries of Europe and USA. The results are published in New England Journal of Medicine.The highest content of “trans fats” was found in American McDonalds and KFC and the lowest in Denmark and Russia. For Denmark the explanation is easy – “trans fats” are banned in that country. But why Russia? Scientists believe it depends on oil prices. In Russia oil is traditionally very cheap and fast food chains do not need cheap substitutes.
