Five Dangerous Foods You Must Never Eat by TheHerald: 10:30pm On Jun 18, 2017 |
Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for an organism. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. There are important steps you can take right now that will make today healthier than yesterday and pave the way for healthy living tomorrow, too. There are a lot of healthy foods you should never eat. Some people take this due to the confusion surrounding labeling and advertising, buzzwords like “sugar-free,” “all-natural” and even “organic” stories to them. To makes things a little easier for you, here’s a list of the top health foods you should never eat. Many of these aren’t really health foods at all. Instead, many are secret sugar bombs, foods that set your body into inflammation overdrive, menu items that can throw your hormones into an unhealthy state or they’re tainted with seriously gross compounds. Top Health Foods You Should Never Eat Fruit Juice Fruit juice is a major danger due to the fructose factor. It is healthier to eat fruit in its whole form. According to a study published in the journal Nutrition found that the average fruit juice’s fructose concentration is 45.5 grams per liter. For soda, it’s 50 grams. Our bodies aren’t designed to deal with that type of fructose overload. While glucose serves as a fuel for our body, fructose is processed almost exclusively in the liver, where it’s converted to fat. image: http://www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Raw-Manuka-Honey-Apple-Juice-01-e1497789028994.jpg Sugar Alcohols Sugar alcohols are commonly found in sugar-free gum and sugar-free baked goods and sugar replacements. Xylitol is one of the most popular forms. Others include: erythritol, isomalt, lactitol, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol. While often marketed as natural, these sweeteners undergo intense processing and are often derived from GMO ingredients like corn. Some of these products are also linked to allergic reactions, headaches, SIBO symptoms, rashes, gas and bloated. It is advisable to use natural option for sweetening, Try green stevia, monk fruit or raw honey. image: http://www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/alcohol.jpg Microwave Popcorn Another one of my top “health” foods you should never eat is microwave popcorn. The microwavable bags are coated with nonstick perfluorochemicals like perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), chemical that is liked to cancer. image: http://www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2017-06-18-13-05-46-981140641.jpg Margarine Trans fats were the original fats used in margarines. It has also being discovered trans fats are responsible for about 50,000 fatal heart attacks a year. Trans fat also increases someone’s risk of developing type II diabetes and several other severe health problems. While trans fats have since been removed from most margarines, it’s important to note that most contain industrial, highly processed fats that would never be found in nature. It is advisable to use butter from ghee -fed cows or coconut oil for healthy living. image: http://www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/images-2.jpg Overcooked Meat All meats have amino acids, including creatine and sugars. Cooking them at very high temperatures produces molecules called heterocyclic amines (HCAs), though. These are carcinogenic, toxic compounds also found in cigarette smoke. Well-done meat contains 3.5 times more HCA than medium-rare meat. Using thicker, store-bought marinades containing sweeteners like sugar, high-fructose corn syrup or even honey makes charring more likely, possibly increasing exposure to carcinogens. image: http://www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/images-3.jpg Share with friends: Read more at http://www.herald.ng/five-dangerous-foods-must-never-eat/#sFp6QvXkzIM8kIUR.99 1 Like |
