In a cross-sectional analysis of food advertisements during National Football League games researchers found that the advertised products often contained high levels of sodium, carbohydrates, and calories, with quick-service restaurant meals exceeding the recommended daily intake for healthy adults. The researchers emphasized the potential impact on individuals with prevalent conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, and kidney failure, cautioning about the vulnerability to dietary restrictions due to frequent exposure to advertising during NFL games. The research raises concerns about extended viewing times and poor dietary choices during sports events, potentially affecting cardiovascular and other chronic conditions.
