Price over health? 
Krista Haynes, a registered dietitian with The Cancer Project said,“A single high-fat meal like a gourmet burger can cause a dangerous increase in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The large amounts of processed meat, fat, dairy, and sodium in gourmet burgers can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer.”
The five worst gourmet burgers are:
Rank Worst Gourmet Burger Fast-Food Restaurant 1 Bacon Deluxe Triple Wendy’s 2 The Guacamole Bacon Six Dollar Burger Carl’s Jr. 3 Steakhouse XT Burger Burger King 4 Sirloin Cheeseburger Jack in the Box 5 Angus Bacon and Cheese McDonald’s
A 2007 report from the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund says that 50 grams of processed meat consumed daily increases one’s risk of colorectal cancer by an average of 21 percent. A 50-gram serving is approximately the size of a typical hot dog—or a little less than the four slices of bacon found on the Wendy’s Bacon Deluxe burger. (Info from www.PCRM.org).
