Top 10 Worst Foods List
The following is our top 10 list of worst foods. The foods in this list are chosen based on several factors including: “bad” fat content, carcinogens, toxicity to the body, free radical damage, preservatives, probability to raise LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol), liver stress, probability to reduce energy levels, and probability to increase body fat.
We’ll count the list backwards, starting from 10, like the Late Show with David Letterman!
#10) Soda – high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, calories, sugar…lot’s of sugar. Why drink your calories? I recommend a water with a slice of lemon. You don’t NEED the soda to enjoy yourself as much as you think you do.
#9) Fried Foods – Salt, fat and cancer causing carcinogens. Things like eggrolls, fried shrimp, and french fries are all high in fat, raise your cholesterol and put you at risk for heart disease. Is it worth it? I know they taste good, but look for another option on the menu if a healthy body is important to you.
#8) Bacon – Salt, fat, calories, nitrates. Darn! I love bacon! Anything in moderation, right?
#7) Fast Food Burger – Some burgers are over 1000 calories! Other burgers have so many preservatives that you can keep them unrefridgerated for years and they won’t decompose! Not only that, but when I eat a fast-food burger, I feel very low on energy. If you must have a burger, try a home-cooked burger with lean ground beef using the George Foreman Grill. You’ll have less fat, and it won’t make you feel lethargic after you eat it.
#6) Hot dogs and lunch meats – Hot dogs are the mystery meat! Lunch meats and hot dogs are high in sodium, nitrates and nitrites. You have a 67% higher chance of developing pancreatic cancer when you eat these foods! Just check out this link: http://www.organicconsumers.org/foodsafety/processedmeat050305.cfm
#5) Twinkies, Ho-Ho’s, Oreo Cookie’s, ect. – high in trans fat, sugar, calories. You know these are bad for you…ever heard of apple, strawberries, grapes? I heard that in the 50’s people stockpiled Twinkies in bomb shelters because they last forever. Preservatives that effective just can’t be good for you!
#4) Donuts – Mmmmmmm…donuts…High in trans fat, sugar, calories, but the cops like ‘em, so they must have some value…NOT! (That’s my Wayne’s World impression for the day!)
#3) Potato chips – MSG, high fat, salt, preservatives, hydrogenated oil, calories. Need I say more? These are empty calories people! Eat something with some nutritional value!!
#2) Onion rings – high fat, carcinogens, calories, sodium. Oh, man! Speaking of onion rings, have you tried the Bloomin Onion at the Outback Steakhouse? This thing is over 2,000 calories and has 135 grams of fat! That’ll set you back a few weeks on your weight loss goals, don’t ‘ya think?
AND, DRUM ROLL PLEASE…………………………
#1) IN OUR TOP 10 WORST FOODS IS:
French Fries! – High fat, carcinogens, calories, sodium, and research shows increases risk of developing cancer. Plus they taste great! No wonder they’re so dangerous!
