Junk food may be loaded with calories but do not add anything to our bodies other than fats and carbs, when the body needs proportionate amounts of other nutrients like vitamins, minerals, calcium and proteins also! This article is an attempt to dissolve such and many other misconceptions surrounding the causes of malnutrition!
