1.  Milkshake is not good for blood vessels

A glass of milkshake may be bliss for your taste buds, but it's not so good for your blood vessels.

A small new study suggests that consuming just a single, high-fat meal or food item, like a milkshake, may lead to unhealthy changes in your blood vessels and red blood cells. In the study, researchers had 10 healthy men drink a milkshake made with whole milk, whipped cream, and ice cream; the shake contained 80 grams of fat and 1,000 calories. Four hours later, lab tests revealed evidence that the men's blood vessels were less able to relax (or dilate) and that some of their red blood cells changed shaped, becoming "spiky" instead of smooth.

"Your red blood cells are normally nice and smooth and beautiful, and the cells, after consumption of a high-fat meal, get these spikes on them," which could affect blood flow, Julia Brittain, a professor of cell biology and anatomy at Augusta University's Medical College of Georgia, said in a statement.

2.  permanent changes in the shape of their red blood cells. 

However, in studies in mice, the researchers previously found that, when the animals were continuously fed a high-fat diet, they experienced permanent changes in the shape of their red blood cells, which triggered an immune response that could contribute to cardiovascular disease.

3.. Milkshake is not good for the heart.

The American Heart Association recommends that healthy adults limit their fat intake to 20 to 35 percent of their daily calories. (For a person consuming a 2000 calorie diet, this would translate to about 44 to 78 grams of fat a day

4. Milkshakes can cause food poisoning.

Milkshakes can cause food poisoning. The main food safety hazard comes from the semi-frozen ice cream that is a breeding ground for bacteria like listeria and E.coli. Another culprit of milkshake food poisoning is the unsanitary machines used to serve them. Symptoms can include diarrhea and nausea

5.High-fat drink

According to a new study conducted by researchers from August University's Medical College of Georgia, consuming just a single high-fat snack, such as a milkshake, causes noticeable changes to the body's blood vessels and red blood cells.

For the study, researchers recruited 10 men and asked them to consume a milkshake made of full-fat milk and ice cream with a total fat content of approximately 80 grams and caloric content of 1,000 calories. After consuming the tasty dairy treat, researchers analyzed participants' health markets, paying close attention to their blood vessels. They discovered that participants' blood vessels weren't able to dilate as easily as they should and some of the participants' red blood cells actually changed shaped, becoming spikier instead of their natural smooth shape.

What does all this mean exactly? It means that high-fat snacks or meals, even just one, can affect your body's circulatory system, potentially increasing the risk of heart disease and other related problems. Researchers say these effects are temporary and typically subside within a few hours. But for people who consume high-fat snacks and meals on a regular basis, it could result in lingering effects that increase the risk of chronic disease and illness.

"Your red blood cells are normally nice and smooth and beautiful, and the cells, after consumption of a high-fat meal, get these spikes on them," said Julia Brittain, a professor of cell biology and anatomy at Augusta University's Medical College of Georgia.

Summary of Article

If you're going to drink milkshakes, choose varieties with lower concentrations of saturated fat. A milkshake made with skim milk, for instance, will have significantly less fat than a traditional milkshake made of full fat or 2% fat milk. Avoiding unnecessary ingredients like chocolate syrup and cookies can also lower the fat content of milkshakes. Instead, choose natural and nutritious ingredients like fresh fruits. You can still enjoy an occasional milkshake as a tasty treat, but you must be conscious of what it's made of.
