These foods are so bad for you that I really can’t see any reason to consume them.
Not only do they have zero nutritional value, but they also give your body a healthy dose of toxins.
1- WHOLE MILK
Processed milk is literally poison. The pasteurization process destroys the vitamins and digestive enzymes, denatures the protein, reduces the availability of minerals, and turns the fat rancid. Homogenization further renders the fat and protein indigestible.
Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone and antibiotics which are fed or injected into the cows for increased milk production and disease control, respectively, contribute to
intestinal inflammation, allergic response, fat storage, and tumor growth. Alternatives: organic cow’s milk (still pasteurized & homogenized, but no antibiotics, hormones, or pesticides), organic goat’s milk (no homogenization), or almond milk (none of the above issues).
2. FRENCH FRIES (and Nearly All Commercially Fried Foods)
Potatoes are bad enough when consumed in their raw state, as their simple sugars are rapidly converted to glucose that raises insulin levels and can devastate your health.
But when they are cooked in trans fat at high temperatures, all sorts of interesting and very unpleasant things occur. Anything that is fried, even vegetables, has the issue of trans fat and the potent cancer-causing substance acrylamide. Foods that are fried in vegetable oils like canola, soybean, safflower, corn, and other seed and nut oils are particularly problematic. These polyunsaturated fats easily become rancid when exposed to oxygen and produce large amounts of damaging free radicals in the body.
They are also very susceptible to heat-induced damage from cooking. What is not commonly known is that these oils can actually cause aging, clotting, inflammation, cancer and weight gain.
3. SODA
One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors, sulphites, and phosphorus. Phosphorus leeches calcium from teeth and bones. Hence, studies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay, diabetes and heart disease. The diet varieties are also problematic as they still contain all the same ingredients, except they replace sugar with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame. If you routinely drink soda-- regular or diet--eliminating it from your diet is one of the simplest and most profound health improvements you can make.
4-Canned tomatoes
The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Unfortunately, acidity (a prominent characteristic of tomatoes) causes BPA to leach into your food. Studies show that the BPA in most people's body exceeds the amount that suppresses sperm production or causes chromosomal damage to the eggs of animals. "You can get 50 mcg of BPA per liter out of a tomato can, and that's a level that is going to impact people, particularly the young," says vom Saal. "I won't go near canned tomatoes."
The solution: Choose tomatoes in glass bottles (which do not need resin linings), such as the brands Bionaturae and Coluccio. You can also get several types in Tetra Pak boxes, like Trader Joe's and Pomi.
