Link between filling baskets with offers and obesity!

LONDON (Reuters) – People who love caddies with special offers are more likely to be overweight and even obese. A study linking low commodity prices to serious diseases.

Researchers at the British Cancer Research Society have expressed concern over the link between obesity and the reduction of in-store product offerings. The researchers explained that these products available at low prices and special offers were at the origin of obesity, pointing out that being overweight was now accused of having caused at least 13 types of Cancer.

At the end of the study, the researchers recommended legitimately proposing attractive offers to preserve the health of citizens. Advertisements should avoid seducing buyers, like two pieces of chocolate at the price of a coin, a large bag of fries or a whole box of soft drinks at a lower price than usual.

The researchers explained that many of the low-priced products in department stores often contain a high proportion of fat, sugar or salt. Indeed, nearly half of all chocolates, potato chips, popcorn and ready meals are sold through exceptional offers.

"Food products are already reduced to an unprecedented price, which leads to excessive consumption," said Joachim Vesthenhofer, specialist in nutritional psychology at the University of Applied Sciences Hamburg. Although the study may not be drawn to the rest of the western countries, "there is no similar study in Germany, but the results are likely to be similar", did he declare.

In this study, the researchers called for control of special offers regarding unhealthy foods, while examining the types of chocolates and pastries placed near the collector, which traders deliberately attract customers before leaving the store. Indeed, another British study showed last year that the volume of goods contributing to the increase in obesity decreases about five times the purchases when they are withdrawn from the collection area and placed above the shelves.
