Vending Machine Use Could Cause Health Problems: This Week on AOL Health

Vending machines have not exactly been known to hold nutritious snack options, and new research shows that these poor dietary choices could follow people throughout their lives.

According to a study by the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, students who eat food from vending machines have an increased risk for diabetes, coronary artery disease and other chronic conditions, as well as the likelihood to continue bad eating habits.

Results also found that a machine is used more often if it is located in the school cafeteria and can pack on as much as an extra 300 calories a day to a student's diet.
