For anyone wondering what the worst foods you could possibly eat are, here is one experts list.
Yes, we’re as disappointed as you that some of these goodies (ice cream? Nooooo!) are on the list and hyperventilating in a paper bag at the thought of never eating these again, BUT it is also important to remember moderation is key.
And let the sighing begin…
Ice cream is not only full of sugar, most of it is also loaded with trans fats, artificial colors and flavors, many of which are known neurotoxins (brain- and nervous-system damaging chemicals).
Corn and tortilla chips are fried in oils that have turned rancid and are linked to inflammation. Today’s genetically-modified corn causes rapid blood sugar fluctuations, which you may notice as mood-swings, weight gain, or irritability, among other symptoms.
Pizza isn’t ALL bad, but most most of the commercially available and frozen pizza on the market is full of artificial dough conditioners and preservatives. The bleached white flour also reacts in your body like sugar and causes weight gain or blood sugar imbalances.
French fries (surprise, surprise) typically contain trans fats that have been linked to a long list of diseases, they contain one of the most potent carcinogenic substances in food—acrylamide— which causes inflammation in the body.
Potato chips, very similarly to french fries, typically contain the highest levels of acrylamide, which is a carcinogen.
Consuming bacon can increase the risk of heart disease by 42 percent and diabetes by 19 percent. A study at the University of Columbia found that eating bacon 14 times a month was linked to damaged lung function and an increased risk of lung disease.
Consuming hot dogs in studies have proven to increase the risk of pancreatic cancer by 67 percent. Also, this mystery meat contains the carcinogen sodium nitrate which has been linked to leukemia in children, brain tumors in infants, and other studies show sodium promotes colorectal cancer! Yikes! Sorry, Dodger Dogs!
Doughnuts are 35 to 40 percent trans fats (the worst fat you can eat), which are linked to heart- and brain-diseases as well as cancer. All of that on top of the massive calorie intake? No thanks!
Soda is not only loaded with sugar, it is also extremely acidic! To get an idea of how acidic, listen to this. It takes over 30 cups of pH-balanced water to neutralize the acidity of one cola! The acid residue is not only hard on the kidneys filtering it, but weaken bones This acid residue can be extremely hard on the kidneys since they have to filter it.
Diet soda is considered to be the worst food for your body on the list! It has all of the negative effects of regular soda, plus it contains aspartame, now called AminoSweet, which is linked to health conditions like blindness, brain tumors, depression, epilepsy, headaches, fatigues, and MANY others!
Sorry if we ruined your day by listing all of your favorite foods, but this is important stuff to be aware of! If you can’t bear to live without them, just eat in moderation and some in a lot more moderation than others!
