tastes so good make you want to slap your mama don't it really yeah boy here are 10 more
unhealthy foods you probably eat every day find out which foods are particularly bad even though
they might not look it hey hands off my pickle i don't see your name on it boy processed cheese
spray cheese from the famous family of aerosol cheeses in america we seem to like our cheese to
be as bright and as orange as possible of course we all know that processed cheese is probably not
the best thing for us nothing that orange can be good for you but most people don't know the full
extent of how bad it can actually be in fact we can't even exactly call it cheese according to
a registered nutritionist jay cohen that slice of neon orange cheese contains less than 51 of cheese
curds which makes it more of a cheese product than anything else so what is the remaining 49 made of
a bunch of unwanted preservatives and many harmful emulsifiers that can have a negative
impact on your body mind blown since processed cheese has high amounts of salt and preservatives
it also contributes to high blood pressure bad cholesterol and various heart diseases
word to your mother in the end it's just like everything else you can eat it in small doses
and moderation just try to avoid it as much as you can and opt for real cheese maraschino cherries
oh and a handful of maraschino cherries on top you can put these iconic bright red little cherries
in practically anything from milkshakes to fruity cocktails only it might not be the smartest thing
to do despite their fruit status maraschino cherries should never be considered as such
they lose vitamins and minerals during the bleaching and brining process and nearly every
micronutrient they're also packed with almost three times as many calories and grams of sugar as
a regular unprocessed cherry all thanks to their high fructose corn syrup bath the hfcs solution
has been linked to metabolic disorders type 2 diabetes heart disease and other related chronic
conditions this must be where pies go when they die and the cherry on top of this disaster of a
food maraschino cherries are also mixed up with preservatives dyes and other harmful ingredients
like sulfur dioxide and calcium chloride to extend their shelf life which is approximately three
years i put a cherry on top booyah basically they have a lot of downsides and little to no
nutritional benefits and should probably be left behind next time you want to decorate
your desserts fried foods is is this chicken hell no there's no arguing that a nice greasy
order of french fries or a steamy plate of chicken nuggets would be considered the ultimate comfort
food by many it's just so delicious and hard to resist but it doesn't make it any good for you
or your body fried foods are usually high in calories fat and often salt and eating them on
a regular basis can put you at risk of developing serious health problems like type 2 diabetes
obesity and heart disease high blood pressure and high cholesterol are also possible outcomes from
eating fried foods too often but it's even worse when those foods come from fast food restaurants
my dad's a legend and that's the least he deserves fast food is often cooked in hydrogenated oils
which are very high in trans fat and raise bad cholesterol levels it's all about the food
having that satisfying taste and crunch but at what cost shut up and take my money if you really
can't say goodbye to the greasy meals frying your food at home is probably a better option
but it still shouldn't be an everyday thing frozen pizza comfort food that loves you back
as one of the most popular foods in the entire world pizza has quite a reputation you can order
in make your own or even pop a frozen one in the oven whenever you're feeling a little peckish
while all of these options sound similar in terms of satisfaction in terms of nutrition it's a whole
different story busy families and college students will often turn to frozen pizzas as their dinner
of choice however most of the time these are highly processed and contain worrying artificial
preservatives added sugar and unhealthy fats as far as i'm concerned progress peaked with frozen
pizza they're also high in calories and sodium and can affect your mood and your weight most popular
brands like red baron's classic crust for cheese pizza have pretty questionable ingredients such as
l-cysteine hydrochloride a salt that is normally used to treat overdoses and ammonium sulfate
a lawn fertilizer oh and we can't forget the 720 milligrams of sodium per serving it packs as for
tombstone's frozen pepperoni pizza it contains bht and bha our trusty adverse preservatives life
is supposed to add up to something not be some happy slice of pizza when it comes to
pizza you're much better off taking the time to make your own at home ready to bake pie crust
hello hot pie baking can be a very soothing very satisfying hobby to pick up but sadly
it can also be quite time consuming in order to prepare delicious pastries and desserts like pies
the dough needs to be absolutely perfect but that's usually the longest thing to do this
is where ready to bake pie crusts come into play to save the day only they're not exactly saviors
per se sure they're going to save you a lot of time and trouble but they can also bring
you way more trouble thanks to their harmful ingredients let's take pillsbury's pie crust
for instance one of the most popular brands in the country it contains bha and bht two
synthetic antioxidants used as preservatives in foods but also in lipsticks and moisturizers
long-term exposure to high doses of these controversial preservatives has been proven
toxic in mice and rats causing liver thyroid and kidney problems as well as affecting their lung
function and blood coagulation okay should you eat that plus the international agency
for research on cancer has classified bha as a possible human carcinogen with that in mind
you might want to take the extra time to make your own crust and avoid all of those downsides
rice cakes yeah we don't see a lot of potatoes around here we're rice men when you're looking
for a low calorie snack your first instinct might be to turn to rice cakes they look so innocent
but you should always be wary especially if they have a bunch of toppings on them that makes them
even worse they were particularly popular during the low fat craze of the 1980s however they've
greatly changed since then and we shouldn't just assume they're the healthiest choice rice
cakes don't exactly have the most impressive nutrient profile apparently low cal also means
low nutrition they contain only minimal amounts of beneficial vitamins iron fiber and potassium
which makes them pretty irrelevant in terms of nourishment so now let's talk about what rice
cakes do have high sodium counts somebody told me this is a really good way to start your diet
obviously that always depends on the flavor and how they're salted but most of the time the odds
are not going to be in your favor added sugars and maltodextrin are also part of the mix which
only adds another line in the cons column eating rice cakes might make you feel like you're full
but that's only because of the air in them in reality you'll be missing out
on important fiber and other important nutrients we know you not like rice cake
no one likes rice cakes if you truly want to keep eating rice cakes just opt for the
plain flavorless kind and make sure you add lots of healthy things on top protein bars
somebody get this messed up ready after a workout on a hike or simply after a long hard day
protein bars can be a great way to refuel your muscles and give your body the energy it needs
to keep going they can be a convenient source of nutrition and a lot of people turn to them to
accommodate their busy and active lifestyles the only problem is most protein bars aren't exactly
the picture of health and it can be pretty hard to differentiate the good from the bad it all
depends on the brand but the majority of protein bars pack a combination of belly bloating soy
sugar sodium artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup which basically means they're trying to
sabotage your health they're these weird nutrition bars my mom used to lose weight give me it and
that's not counting all the calories and added sugars if you thought you could avoid all of these
by going for a sugar-free or low-carb protein bar don't bother they're just as bad according to many
studies the artificial sweeteners used to flavor low sugar foods have been linked to weight gain
sugar cravings and cardiometabolic risk honestly most protein bars should probably be moved to the
candy aisle at this point did you take one of my protein bars so next time you want to stock up on
protein bars just make sure you read the labels attentively and pick the right brand brown rice
a single grain of rice can tip the scale at first glance brown rice is pretty healthy it
has countless health benefits and packs a lot of nutrients like antioxidants fiber and beneficial
compounds that can help reduce the risk of heart disease it is also an excellent source of vitamins
and minerals it practically sounds like a saint however no matter how great and full of benefits
brown rice can be you still might want to consider switching your chipotle order to white rice for
one unique reason arsenic levels indeed arsenic one of the world's most toxic elements has been
detected more often in high levels of brown rice according to recent analyses conducted by the fda
what if this could change the world a burrito naturally occurring in water and soil arsenic
can be found in a variety of foods but rice is especially prone to carrying it that's because
rice easily absorbs the arsenic from irrigation water soil and even cooking water making it more
susceptible long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic can have many negative effects
and in some cases even result in death it has also been associated with skin bladder and lung cancers
high blood pressure as well as heart disease and diabetes it's a practice wheel for when i lose
my foot to diabetes so if you have the choice between white and brown rice maybe go with the
white pickles can i eat the pickle well there's a lot of salt in it but yeah either on their own as
a snack or as a way to elevate your burger pickles always seem like the right answer and while they
are pretty amazing you should think twice about over indulging in these bright salty treats you
may have noticed how radioactive most pickles look with their fluorescent color and it shouldn't be a
shock to learn that this is far from natural many brands will go to great lanes to have the greenest
pickles in the supermarket and will add a bunch of yellow dyes to their jars which is part of
what makes them so unhealthy to begin with yellow number five or tartrazine is the most commonly
used artificial dye and it has been linked to hyperactivity in children i'm pickle rick pickles
are already naturally green but apparently not green enough to be worthy of anyone's attention
brands like vlasic will also fill their pickle jars with polysorbate 80 an emulsifier that's
been linked to cancer in mice as well as sodium benzoate shown to damage mitochondria but even
without all of those added unnecessary ingredients pickles still aren't the healthiest of vegetables
what no way that's because they also have a very high sodium content and in the long run that can
contribute to high blood pressure so if you have blood pressure problems or cardiovascular
health issues you should probably stay away from pickles or at least look for low sodium options
bottled water chain chain okay not technically a food but still something that people consume
on the daily and they probably shouldn't for the sake of their health many people turn to
bottled water to avoid drinking water from the tap but in reality bottled water might be worse
forget that it's extremely bad for the environment and that countless campaigns
to reduce the use of plastic bottles have been put into place but it's also really bad for your body
shame on you bottled water can contain a hormone-mimicking chemical found in almost every
food packaging plastic bpa yes the very scary bpa that can lead to various unwanted hormonal
changes like early puberty in women obesity and increased rates of reproductive cancers
it basically acts as a faux estrogen and can cause a variety of chromosomal abnormalities birth
defects developmental disabilities in children and decreased fertility while more companies are
choosing to sell bpa-free plastic water bottles it's still a rather common component nevertheless
even those without bpa still have their fair share of chemicals like salads which have been linked to
an increased risk of cancer you truly are the king of kings so your best bet just drink from the tap
