• The findings, published in the journal Allergy, add to previous evidence that the explosion in junk food diets might have contributed to the dramatic increase in asthma over the past 30 years.
• One in three British teenagers now suffers from asthmatic symptoms, such as wheezing, breathlessness and tightchestedness.
• Some experts argue that a large part of the increase is because GPs are getting better at spotting the disease.
• However, other experts, including Dr Kristin Wickens, who led the New Zealand study of 10 to 12-year-olds, say diets containing junk foods which are high in salt could be contributing to the problem.
• She said: "The high salt content in hamburgers may increase the risk of wheezy illness."
