According to DoctorNDTV.com, burgers are bad for you because the meat contains saturated fats and trans-fatty acids. When you consume these substances, your PGC-1 beta (a molecule) tells your liver to produce artery-clogging "bad" cholesterol, along with triglycerides.

On a side note, a CNN story from last year indicates that burgers made with lean sirloin can actually be good for you - provided, of course, that you don't make a habit of eating twenty of them a day!
