With conflicting advertisements millions of
products and constantly changing health science navigating the world of healthy
eating and dieting can be extremely difficult
in order to help cross off some of the foods that should be avoided
here is a list of the 10 most harmful foods people
keep eating chicken isn't vegan soup cans stop that soup
typically the best type of soup to make when feeling sick is also going to be
the easiest powdered soups are a good option but the
fastest and arguably the tastiest way to enjoy a hot bowl of soup is heat it up
on the stove out of the can unfortunately this soup that is supposed
to help people feel their best may actually be one of the worst foods
someone can eat what's the culprit ingredient in these
seemingly simple soups salt while these meals are typically
filled with flavor that taste typically derives from huge
quantities of sodium although reduced sodium options are
available they too are still typically high in salt content
there is evidence the sodium content may help gain energy during times of illness
however it should be avoided on a regular basis as it can lead to
potentially serious health issues later in life the good news is soup is
one of the absolute easiest recipes to create at home
thousands of recipes can be found and recreated with just the click of a
button and a good stock here's your soup
chicken yes with the little stars white bread
one small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man there's nothing
that beats a sandwich made with white bread
that soft fluffy bread wrapped around melty cheese or peanut
butter is hard to beat fortunately as with the other members of this list the
negative health consequences of white bread make it a food that should be left
out of the diet as often as possible the issues with white bread is focused
around the process of production in order to increase that smooth
delicious taste of white bread bran and germ are separated and discarded
leaving only the soft bleached endosperm this is then processed into the fluffy
white bread that so many love unfortunately what makes whole wheat
bread incredibly healthy is the fiber involved within when the bran and germ
are removed the bread almost immediately becomes stripped of
important nutrients that the body needs the white bread although a delicious
treat converts quickly into sugars excuse me but this has powdered sugar on
it and i ordered no sugar this additional sugar is what can cause
such negative health side effects from white bread when such unhealthy food is
being eaten at any meal time and sometimes more than once a day
the body is likely to suffer no why would i get fat
spread makes you fat bread makes you fat canned tuna coming up against a full
grown 800 pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends
you lose that battle packed full of protein and vitamins from the most pure
form tuna salads tuna melts and tuna with
crackers have remained perfect lunch meals for decades
unfortunately tuna's a long time track record for healthy eating has been
tarnished in recent years and there is one
major culprit mercury i've been hideous i know that mercury levels in the oceans
have been rising steadily because of pollution
the oceans have suffered due to industrial production and mercury is
just one of the negative effects as mercury makes its way up the food
chain when smaller fish are eaten by bigger ones its toxicity
increases by the time that mercury reaches the tuna for human consumption
the mercury levels are astronomically high and can have serious negative
health effects for the consumer this can be particularly damaging to
expectant mothers where the mercury travels again
being passed from mother to baby and growing increasingly toxic once again
although in small doses the mother can handle the mercury a delicate fetus is
highly at risk high mercury rates are linked to high
rates of depression anxiety heart and brain disease unfortunately a
once amazing healthy food now has to be carefully considered
before consumed that's impossible it's a mistake diet
soda how many calories zero zero zero
the tasty syrup of classic soda brands is well known to be high in sugar
sweet sugary liquid is a craving innate not only in human nature but in a great
deal of the animal kingdom although many fight hard to stay away
from it the sugar and soda is a natural process of addiction
sweeter bolder better as we began to become more
knowledgeable regarding the effects of foods on the body over the last 100
years the most popular and sometimes
century-old brands of soda were realizing that their beverages may not
be the best product for a consumer attempting to cut sugar
in the 1980s and 90s this problem was solved with the introduction of diet
soda options while the soda is able to advertise zero
calories and zero sugar by removing the sugar from the recipe
this step also removes the flavor in order to regain that flavor
artificial sweeteners like aspartame are added what makes diet soda so
unhealthy are these artificial sweeteners to begin the negative side
effects associated with these sweeteners are displayed in extremely high numbers
multiple studies have linked diet soda consumption with an increased risk of
diseases such as diabetes heart disease and more
many people believe that they are making a healthy choice when switching from
regular to diet soda but don't let the name fool you diet
sodas may have no sugar but that does not mean that they are
now good for you you're right potato
chips
gentlemen one of the most obvious contenders of harmful foods that people
continue to eat potato chips are one of the fattiest
saltiest and least nutritious foods that one can consume
the high fat food has long been considered one of the least healthy
foods the term couch potato has been created
in regards to both the lack of nutrients that the potato presents the modern day
diet and also the lazy lifestyle that potato
chips entail there's just about no easier food to eat
than a bag of chips simply open and enjoy however this ease
of access is very dangerous when one considers the
health deficits the addictive nature of potato chips
makes them such a delicious snack but also makes it one of the most
dangerous finishing an entire cake is tough
you wanted cake you got cake but finishing a bag of chips
can be done in a single sitting serving sizes as displayed on the bag rarely are
considered and even more rarely satisfy the hunger of the
consumer as the empty calories of potato chips are
unlikely to ever fill the stomach this causes customers to continually finish
bags long before expected and more often than not entirely solo
although a handful of chips is great at a party
if trying to really fill themselves avoiding a high calorie snack as light
as air that offers little in terms of
nutritional reward is a good place to start
it's important to remember that even healthy potato chips are still less
healthy than a whole food option be cautious and read the
packaging you sure you don't want to just give her
some chips no we're not giving her chips we're just gonna eat
non-maple syrup you like sugar huh is there sugar and syrup while something
could be said for the antioxidants and nutrients found within maple syrup
the same can not be said for artificially flavored pancake syrup
while pancake syrup may deliver a sweet and sticky topping for many breakfast
foods such as waffles french toast and pancakes
it offers basically nothing in terms of nutritional value
as it is practically a bottle of sugar give me
sugar getting maple syrup is an incredibly expensive and time-consuming
process for this reason most pancake syrups on
grocery store shelves contain little to no
actual maple instead sugars and corn syrups are used with flavorings to
create a similar product maple syrup although also incredibly
high in sugar does offer up some positive side effects if it is used as a
sweetener when compared to traditional white sugar
unfortunately many pancake syrups base their recipes off of white sugars
removing any possibility for nutritional gain it's important to recognize the
difference if one is seriously considering the health implications
an easy way to tell the difference is by price and appearance
pure maple syrup is typically much more expensive than pancake syrups
another trick is that pure syrup often comes in glass bottles in comparison to
the plastic ones of the mass-produced pancake syrups
either way with an ingredient this sweet try to stick to the purest form possible
and remember to keep it as a breakfast treat not
a breakfast staple donkey don't eat that margarine this tastes like saddle soap
one of the odd things about margarine being on this list is that it is based
off of a healthy eating platform advertisements for years have displayed
that margarine is equal and similar in taste of butter
all while offering fewer health deficits people typically use margarine while
trying to follow healthy eating habits but as research increases it appears
that margarine may be doing more harm than good
is this a joke the reason for such a confusing reputation
although many of these margarine brands aim to increase cardiac health
in reality the trans fats involved are absolutely detrimental to a healthy diet
these artificial trans fats are known to immediately contribute to some of the
worst types of heart disease on the planet this has been proven through
multitudes of studies comparing the benefits and costs between butter and
margarine in reality both butter and margarine are
also extremely high calorie foods meaning that adding either to a dish is
able to reduce the overall nutritional value
margarine is a great cooking ingredient but olive oil and butter both offer up
more pure alternatives of fat let me say this
is there anything better than butter so perhaps if possible
just avoid adding the tasty spread to breakfast toast and opt for some peanut
butter cheese or tomatoes instead where the
calories are worth the cost energy drinks
online right
tantrum the power of energy drinks is mind-boggling to be taken from such a
mental and physical low to such a high level of energy with just one beverage
is incredible it can be one of the quickest ways for an energy boost
as many may assume the power that stems from energy drinks is derived from
caffeine although this is a normal compound that
appears in sodas and coffees the levels in which energy drinks incorporate
caffeine means that it can have upwards of five
times the caffeine levels of a regular serving of soda an energy drink every so
often is unlikely to cause long-term damage but consumed without caution
and in excess it can cause unwanted side effects
even though it directly states on the bottle not to consume with alcohol and
how they are not intended for children it seems that young adults particularly
party drinkers often are extremely dangerous with energy drinks
not following the rules with energy drinks or consuming them in mass
quantities can lead to serious health problems maybe stay away from these
powerful elixirs and stick to something a little more natural from the morning
boost instead while saving these for the absolute most
dire of exhaustive situations it's corn syrup caffeine and water and a
cool label that's all it is try it fruit juice hey you want this
sure i'll drink anything a glass of orange juice is one of the most common
items on any breakfast table and although it seems like a healthy
addition fruit juices are one of the most harmful things that can be put into
the body this may seem incredibly surprising to
many people how could fruit possibly be unhealthy unfortunately the
sad fact is that the process that turns fruit
a highly sugary food into juice practically ruins
any redeeming nutritional qualities fiber is one of fruit's best qualities
and the process of juicing fruit often involves removing the pulp entirely
saves certain orange juices and more expensive juice options
what is left is extremely sugary juice that is often mixed with additional
sugars and preservatives in the end many juices are no better
than a can of soda i was so scared sour juice came out my
front tail the good news is that limiting juice intake and making healthy
juice choices still allows for juice to remain in a
nutritious diet cranberry red grape and pomegranate are
a few of the juices that provide enough nutrients to offset the sugar intake
and for all those morning orange juice fans the good news is that a small glass
of oj is definitely worth the sugar for the
vitamin c return juice can still be a healthy treat just
avoid anything that says cocktail or does not offer up a truly
nutritional trade-off come on seriously deli meats
you've got to get out of here cold cat fans beware
the lunch meat that is being used to fill lunchboxes and afternoon picnics
may not be as safe as we once thought in fact it may be something that humans
should avoid consuming altogether what may come as a shock to many is that
many processed meats including various deli meats are currently listed as a
class 1 carcinogen this means that it is
highly associated with increased cancer risks and has been proven through many
studies it means that eating processed meat has
been directly linked to an increase in cancer potential people may
argue that everything causes cancer in the 21st
century but when there is this much solid
evidence as in the case of deli meats it may be advisable to remove it from
thousands of children's and adults daily lunches
meat in general is a meal option that should be carefully considered before
consumption as more information is learned regarding its effects on the
body but cold cuts are particularly harmful and should be avoided in general
unfortunately for all the campers and baseball game lovers out there
