sticky stacks of golden fair bit deliciousness donkey don't eat that just because something
tastes good doesn't always mean it's good for you so on that note let's take a look at 10 foods
you should never eat part two impossible burgers i'm never brushing my teeth again unless it's with
a toothbrush made from this burger in hopes of reducing our ecological footprint and meat
consumption the food industry is turning to plant-based substitutes for meat products
enter the impossible burger at first glance it seems like the perfect alternative the animal
cruelty-free product takes up fewer resources since there are no cattle to feed it also sits
better on most people's conscience a good source of fiber calcium and potassium impossible meat has
zero cholesterol sounds perfect right it's good is it all natural but if you're looking
to switch to impossible burgers because they're supposed to be healthier you might be in for the
emotional roller coaster ride of your life while impossible burgers do have some health benefits
they also come with a bunch of not-so-great synthetic ingredients like modified soy and
heme a genetically modified plant used to make the burger bleed these are anything but good for you
and the cherry on top of this health hazard it's way higher in saturated fat and sodium elements
strongly associated with weight gain heart problems and a host of other chronic diseases
the impossible burger may seem like a godsend to vegetarians and in moderation they just might
be but they're simply not the ticket to a healthy promised land you originally thought this isn't it
low-fat peanut butter it's uh laura's gutters peanut butter sir you like it
often hailed as chocolate's best friend peanut butter is the perfect spread to accompany your jam
but one of the main reasons why some people love peanut butter so much is because of how good and
healthy it is for you the regular kind that is you see in a regular jar of peanut butter there are
tons of beneficial unsaturated fats and protein yes it's high in fat but that's part of its charm
now if you take that same peanut butter and try to make it low fat you'll have to remove the one
thing that makes it healthy the unsaturated fat and by doing so you'll actually end up creating a
more sugary altered product because taking out the fat also means replacing it with something
else to maintain that creamy texture in this case it's cornstarches and sugar lots and lots of sugar
waiting to spike your blood sugar levels and the funniest part of this whole low fat nonsense
it has the same amount of calories as the plain old regular peanut butter oh my god i'm a fat
guy only in this one there's a less favorable nutritional profile basically by trying to make
something healthier than it already is it has become worse friendly advice forget the low
fat and enjoy your peanut butter in all its glory it's good for you well unless you have an allergy
then yeah probably not i could teach you how to do it packaged butter flavored popcorn popcorn
a bowl of popcorn is arguably one of the best movie snacks whether it's a night out or in
popcorn is always the star of the show but since every good thing also has a bad side we're sorry
to say that the packaged popcorn you've been buying forever should probably not be on your next
grocery list yeah let me have lots of butter on it especially if you like it with that extra butter
or flavoring the problem doesn't come from the corn but mostly from the endless fake ingredients
and chemicals that are packed along with it now on to the butter issue of this whole mess it goes
without saying that butter flavored popcorn isn't made with actual real butter that would be too
good to be true instead it's made with artificial butter flavoring which can cause some serious
inflammation in the body if consumed too often diacetyl one of the chemicals previously used to
give that buttery flavor and aroma was linked to a very real and very serious disease called popcorn
lung that would cause severe and irreversible lung damage while it's been removed from recent
productions we can't help but wonder just how many more of those dangerous chemicals are
lurking in the creases of your corn if you really can't say goodbye to your movie night tradition
you might want to try popping your popcorn at home on the stovetop rather than buying the
mass-produced artificial packages at least this way you can pick healthier toppings
and really i just want to say thank you instant noodles what are you talking about oh this is
amazing as a broke college student instant noodles are always a lifesaver they're cheap easy to make
and so tasty but there's always a reason why some delicious things are so convenient and not
pricey the secret the word instant as a rule you should steer clear of anything with the
word instant in it because well to make it instant they had to take a lot of stuff out of the mix for
example to make instant noodles they had to strip down and take away a bit of the fiber and replace
it with a bunch of additives one of these is called monosodium glutamate msg which is a
flavor enhancement used in a lot of processed food msg also has the effect of increasing hunger which
keeps you going back for more gotta have more and that's not all these instant noodles also happen
to be packed with sodium and very little if any nutritional value studies show that consuming too
much salt has nefarious effects on the body and is associated with obesity a sedentary lifestyle
and a poor overall diet instant noodles also lack many important nutrients like protein vitamin a
c and b12 calcium and a whole array of stuff necessary to keep your body from falling apart
basically if you see anything instant avoid it at all costs really fruit canned and syrup
it's hard to imagine why any type of fruit would be on this list all fruit is healthy right well
yes but just not the kind that's been marinating in an overly sweet syrup for half its life the not
so secret ingredient in these yummy canned fruit containers is sugar sugar and more sugar that's
all there is and there really is no need for there to be that much sugar either fruits are naturally
sweet but when you want to preserve them for long periods you need to add loads of sugar oh my lord
so much in fact that you could literally swap a slice of cake for a fruit cocktail and you
would see no difference at all also if you like those delightful little canned cherries
beware most of them contain artificial colors to give them that bright unnatural red sheen
but not all hope is lost if you enjoy the occasional fruit salad as a light snack
there are some canned fruit products that do not come in that syrupy sweet nectar
and are canned in 100 juice or water so these are totally fine to eat and way healthier
just read the label carefully if you don't want to end up with a belly full of sugar and if you
can't find a legitimate canned fruit just buy the real deal why would anyone eat canned fruit
microwavable rice i'm totally on your side with a whole microwave situation
thank you when something that usually takes a long time to make suddenly becomes fast and easy
it probably means something has been pushed aside usually something important like nutrients
replaced by something bad for you something like a truckload of sodium and that's exactly
what happens with microwavable rice by trying to make your meal prep more practical and less time
consuming you make it less nutritious and way saltier now obviously consuming some sodium in
a day is important it helps keep the water balance in your body and helps nerves and muscles work but
if you ingest too much sodium in a day all those benefits end up reversed and can cause damage most
of the microwavable rice packages can contain up to 900 milligrams of sodium in one serving and
because most bags contain two and a half servings it adds up to over 2 000 milligrams of sodium come
on seriously in just one sitting you've nearly reached a full day's worth of sodium which is 2
300 milligrams that can lead to bloating feeling weighed down and feeling lethargic you might want
to think about investing in a rice cooker to cook your rice in advance to save time and stay away
from the microwave versions that's genius hot dogs hey hot dog guy can i get six hot dogs down here
hot dogs are an american staple great at ball games barbecues and even birthday parties
they're the perfect convenient tasty treat it's no secret that they may not be the healthiest of
foods it's been said time and again where did you learn that but what you might not know is
why exactly it's all because of the sausage first of all the ingredients in a hot dog sausage aren't
exactly appealing a curious mix of meat trimmings doesn't really scream health to begin with but
that's not even the worst part their fat content is off the charts they are low on any type of
nutrients they're chock full of sodium and low in protein the perfect recipe for a meal light years
away from anything healthy another thing that worries a lot of health experts are the nitrates
these compounds are preservatives added to hot dogs to give them a longer shelf life and more
lively color not only does the word nitrate sound like something you don't want in your hot dog but
studies have shown this to actually be the case eating a lot of processed meats like hot dogs has
been linked to increased risks for type 2 diabetes cardiovascular disease and cancer obviously one
or two once in a while won't kill you but just be aware of what you're putting in your body
wow um my family prefers all-natural beef non-dairy coffee creamer i want i want to
think that you're joking but for some reason i feel like you're not if you can't drink your
coffee black and you absolutely need to add that extra creamy sweetness don't turn to non-dairy
coffee creamers you would be way better off adding some coconut milk and some honey than a creamer
and here's why non-dairy creamers contain something called high fructose corn syrup which
can affect a liver function and cause some serious damage it also has a lot of hydrogenated oils
artificial fats made by adding a hydrogen molecule to vegetable oils to make them
solid at room temperature consuming these oils on a regular basis can increase your bad
cholesterol ldl and lower your good cholesterol hdl and therefore can increase your risk of
heart disease ah the things we do for a good cup of coffee am i right non-dairy creamers
obviously pack a lot of artificial sweeteners which let's be honest are never a good thing
really high in calories and trans fat you should really consider switching to regular milk and
sugar instead of adding this fake flavored nonsense or switch to black coffee all of these
are better options than any non-dairy creamers that is good raw oysters oysters if you eat an
undercooked oyster that's been contaminated with vibrio vulnificus a bacteria commonly found in
waters where oysters are cultivated you could get seriously ill and even die the worst part is there
is no way of knowing if the oyster you're about to eat is infected or not since the harmful bacteria
lives in the water even fresh oysters could be poisonous and if you already have an underlying
health condition like diabetes stomach diseases or any illness that weakens the body's immune system
ingested bacteria could seriously threaten your life these slimy mollusks have to be fully cooked
or else you risk putting your life in jeopardy eating raw oysters just doesn't seem worth the
risk hard pass thanks they might be known as an aphrodisiac but nothing kills the mood faster than
a bacterial infection that's for sure just so make sure your oysters are always well cooked and from
clean waters there's an oyster bar oh heck yeah boxed sugary cereals breakfast is a big boy's
most important meal of the day as the ultimate breakfast of champions boxed cereals are the
perfect choice when you don't have time to whip up a full meal for yourself or for your very picky
children that's basically why they were created in the first place as an easy way to feed kids in
the morning without having to go through all the hassle of cooking something they won't like anyway
while boxed sugary cereals sound like every parent's dream come true they aren't exactly the
most nutritious options out there they are filled with refined carbohydrates which means they don't
fill you up at all and they cause your blood sugar levels to spike then drop i wasn't hungry that can
contribute to low energy mood swings and cravings basically the opposite of the energy boost you're
aiming for in the morning they're obviously quite high in sugar and low in protein fiber
and heart-healthy fats in fact most cereals list sugar as the second ingredient so that should tell
you a lot right there skip the fast food breakfast and fill your precious bowl with some warm oatmeal
topped with fruit and honey that way you'll get the nutrients you need to get on with your day and
your kids won't be bouncing off the walls because of all the sugar we're just gonna trust a random
woman i mean she does make some really good points stick around just tap or click another great video
