1. Donuts-Even the humblest donut contains a whopping 490 calories and 30 grams of fat. Add a little sugar, jelly and whipped cream and you're looking at 600 calories and 35 grams of fat.
2. Marshmallow fluff-60 calories in one teaspoon, but kids load much more than a teaspoon of the stuff on their sandwiches! It is nothing but junk! Not one speck of nutritional value to be found here. Made with corn syrup and gelatin, Fluff is similar to marshmallows, or chemical puffs, as some nutritionist like to call them!
3. Colas, Sodas, Carbonated Beverages- The average drink contains approximately seven to nine teaspoons of refined sugar. That's a load of sugar! Even fake sweetners like aspartame or Splenda, which are added to diet sodas, may be detrimental to your health. Sodas contain harmful chemicals and preservatives, none of which contribute to your health.
4. Bacon, Deli Meats and Processed Meats-What do you think hot dogs are made of? Consider fat content for a start. The average sausage contains 10 grams. A slice of bologna has 7 grams of fat, which is the same amount as a hot dog. Research shows a diet high in animal fats is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Most processed meats contain a chemical soup of nitrates, nitrites, sugar, socium and preservatives. Many of these are implicated as the cuplrits in disease, particularly cancer.
5. Sugar-loaded Breakfast Cereals- Most cereals contain sugar and a hefty dose of trans fats.
6. Fruit Juices and Fake Fruit Drinks-The amount of sugar ina 12-ounce glass of fresh squeezed orage juice totals 36 grams of carbohydrate, most of it from fructose, which is a simple sugar. This amount of carbs will push your insulin levels through the roof. There's far too much sugar at one gulp for the body to handle. Fake fruit drinks are even worse, since they are loaded with refined sugar or chemical sweetners and food coloring.
7. Why do you think they call it junk food? Potato chips, buttered popcorn, deep-fried snacks, doritos!! They carry loads of empty calories, trans and saturated fats and sodium. You can hardly call such products food. Avoid these at all costs!! If you absolutely can't resist, at least measure one cup of chips and call that your limit instead of downing the entire bag.
8. Candy, Candy Floss, Cotton Candy-None of these treats qualifies as a food group since they don't contain any nutritional value whatsoever. They are calorie-dense, sugar-loaded, health-destroying time bombs.
9. French Fries-They guarantee a heart attack or stroke along with a big fat belly. Cooked in enormous vats of (usually hydrogenated) oil that has been heated and reheated several times more, fries deliver unhealthy saturated and trans fats along with a side order of free radicals.
10. Twinkies-They are made with so many preservatives they do not decompose in a garbage dump. They stay fresh forever! Just imagine what kind of chemicals these sponge cake "treats"have been doused with. If they don't decompose in a dump, what do you think happens to them in your body?
