    It’s the heavy amounts pf processing and adding far too much sugar that does it.

    Bin the bread bun and have the burger with a nice fresh salad and decent cheese and you’ll live longer and healthier.

      Cheese isn’t healthy. Ground beef neither. I couldn’t think about anything healthy you could use as a burger sauce.

        While cheese may not be healthy, it’s not necessarily unhealthy either. It’s got a good amount of protein, iodine, and b vitamins. All of which are very important and usually lacking in other foods (particularly the iodine and b vitamins). Are there options with similar nutrition that are better for you? Absolutely. But I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily bad for you either

          Cheese is certainly not unhealthy. In addition to what you already listed it’s also a good source for calcium.
