Would you look at that! A thick juicy hamburger with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Do you want one? Is it worth shaving nine minutes off of your life? How about a hot dog? That'll cost you thirty-six minutes! A nice, seemingly health, PB&J can't be that bad, right? 33
Some researchers at the University of Michigan discovered that eating certain foods can shorten your lifespan. For example, they also found that a portion of bacon costs you 26 minutes and every soda you chug shortens your life by about 12 minutes. Competitive hot dog eating champion Joey Chestnut, who has eaten 1,094 hot dogs, has shortened his life by 39,384 hours, or 27 days, based on this diet.
It's not all bad news. Supposedly, a portion of nuts can add almost 26 minutes to your life -- you can win back about 14 minutes by enjoying some baked salmon or a banana. or how about a nice, seemingly health, PB&J. That gets you back 33 minutes.
It's simple; eat better, live longer!
