Health conscious consumers should probably be wary of the new sandwich from KFC, called the double down sandwich. The sandwich eliminates bread altogether, putting Swiss cheese, pepper jack cheese, bacon and the ‘Colonel’s Special Sauce’ between two pieces of KFC’s original fried chicken filets to form a sandwich. The new sandwich from KFC offers a lot of meat – and a lot of fat.
The new KFC sandwich is being tested in Rhode Island and Nebraska. The cost of the potential artery clogger is around five dollars - about the cost of of your insurance co-payment for thirty days worth of the generic cholesterol lowering medication simvistatin.
KFC’s new double down sandwich contains thirty-one grams of fat, and 590 calories, from best estimates. If the new sandwich meets with consumer approval in the tested markets, it will be sold nationwide, helping to expand the waistlines of Americans.
KFC seems unaware of massive efforts to reduce the cost of obesity in America – estimated at $147 billion annually, and published by researchers at RTI International, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention last month. The chicken in the double down sandwich is fried, making it the worst for promoting a dangerous form of cholesterol, called oxycholesterol.
An occasional indulgence is never a bad thing, but eating a lot of fat is never recommended. The effects of eating high fat foods can lead to laziness and memory loss, according to results of a recent study, published at emaxhealth. Eating a new KFC double down chicken sandwich could promote dementia and a lot more. Obesity, from eating fried and fatty foods can shrink the brain, leading to dementia, also a new finding.
