Diet & Nutrition | admin | November 19, 2009 at 2:12 pm
1) Soft drinks, soda drinks and even the “diet” kind of drinks: contain high amounts of sugar which may lead to tooth decay, obesity and diabetes. Studies revealed that soda drinks may cause tooth decay, heart disease, obesity and osteoporosis. They also decrease your appetite for healthy foods and may lead to nutrition deficiencies and even “diet” drinks are not an exception from these kind of problems as they contain artificial sweeteners with are not good for health.
2) Foods containing transfats: NOTE: All fats are not unhealthy, for example: oils seeds, nuts and fish are good for health. But the problem is with the refined oils which are not healthy as they contain full of transfats and toxins. They cover most of the cooking oils, margarines and foods like burgers, packed foods and baked foods like cakes, biscuits and crisps.
4) French fries: surprised to see French fries? Yes, French fries are one of the worst foods. They are often double fried in oils that contain fats that are not good which can produce cholesterol and health problems and they contain saturated fats, salts and hydrogenated vegetable oils.
5) Pizza loaded with processed meats and cheese: this time you may be angry with me for making it (pizza) to the list; I can’t help you guys 
sorry, yes! they are unhealthy.
6) Hamburgers and doughnuts: doughnuts are unhealthy as they disturb the blood sugar levels and they give a quick “high” and followed by a immediate “low” of sugar levels. Hamburgers are also not good for health and avoiding or limiting them is good for health.
7) Fried chicken and fried sea foods: any food which is fried is bad for you. Where as for the sea foods is that most of them (like: shrimps, lobsters and prawns) are loaded with toxic mercury, may be contaminated with camphylobacter and salmonella types of bacteria.
Food Additives: they include sweeteners, flavor enhancers and preservatives- sweeteners are known to cause cancers; where as preservatives like BHA (butyl hydroxyanisole) is considered to be a carcinogenic by international cancer research. Flavor enhancers like MSG( monosodium glutamate) can cause burning sensations in skin and chest tightness and also some times lead to headaches.
9) Pork rind: also known as pork scratchings in the United Kingdom. They are hard, heavy and have a layer of fat under the skin. Some times the hair of the pig is retained. The pig hair is usually removed by the quick burning of skin so 100% hair removal doesn’t take place. Most importantly they are high in salt and fat.
10) Canned chicken soup: the biggest problem with the canned versions of the recipes is high sodium content. Do you know one cup of canned yourself with your own version of this soup.

Well, two things which I would agree with you here completely – Cold Drinks and Pizzas – These things can do worst damage to your health. Even I did experience the same with cold drinks. You like the taste but then its good for nothing. Better to avoid it as soon as possible. I can also see that lots of non-veg stuffs are bad for health.
