What is junk food called? Below you can read reviews about "The most harmful foods, or How not to fall into the trap of the food industry", or leave your own review.

The most dangerous foods for health

The most hazardous GMO foods for health The complete list of foods hazardous to health from February 2014 includes foods that 97% of Russians buy. In February 2014, mandatory food certification was abolished. The article shows all products that are not recommended to be consumed, as they can be dangerous and harm your health. And now about harmful products, which ideally should be avoided.

Monosodium glutamate - Do not eat foods with the addition of E-326 (monosodium glutamate). Take the package of goods in the store and read. If monosodium glutamate is listed, don't buy it at all. Monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer. Now it is added even to the most unexpected products in order to "hook" the population on them. Be careful! It is better to use natural products: salt, sugar, pepper, etc., but glutamate in no case.

Sweeteners - NO sweeteners should be eaten.

Trans fats - Oil 72.5% should not be eaten in any case. This is a trans fat, a low-grade vegetable oil that has been broken down by hydrogen. Oil less than 82.5% DOES NOT HAPPEN. If you can’t find such oil, then it’s better to eat vegetable oil. It is better to eat two tablespoons of natural butter than a whole pack or a kilogram of trans fats.

Salted herring in plastic packaging. Salted herring is stored only in oil. It is not stored in any vinegar or wine. If the herring is oil-free, then urotropin has been added to it.

Red caviar lightly salted. The principle is the same. Red caviar is not stored for a long time. Only frozen or heavily salted. If it is sold lightly salted, it means that either urotropine or citric acid has been added to it. Something else may be added, but the output is still formaldehyde.

Corn sticks and flakes with sugar. If you buy corn flakes, sticks, they should only be NOT sweet. Because sugar is not used in production. Sugar burns at 140 degrees. Therefore, I use sweeteners, in this case cyclomate.

Cereals and cereals with flavors and dyes identical to natural ones. These are chemicals that have an odor - the taste of pear, strawberry, banana, etc. There is nothing natural here.

Lollipops - Barberry. Now such a strong chemical essence is used that if you leave a slightly wet candy on the tablecloth, it will burn through the tablecloth, along with the varnish. Even plastic is destroyed. Imagine what happens to your stomach.

Marmalade - The current marmalade has nothing to do with what was under the USSR. It's just the wonders of the chemical industry. Deadly dangerous.

Jams - The most powerful antioxidants. You will never be able to keep cherries in such original form.

Fried potatoes in fast foods and ready-made in stores. Now antioxidants are used such that the potato lasts a year and does not turn black. Everything about fast food.

Shawarma - pies and even salads at McDonald's

Boiled sausages. They are from genetically modified soybeans.

Sausages, sausages, boiled sausages, pâtés and other products with so-called hidden fats. In their composition, lard, visceral fat, pork skin occupy up to 40% of the weight, but they are disguised as meat, including with the help of flavoring additives.

Ham - Shinka, etc. In this case, there is no question of any naturalness at all. A thin neck and a kilogram of gel are taken. During the night, in a special machine, the gel “shatters” along with a piece of the neck, and by morning a huge piece of “meat” is obtained. As such, the meat in it is no more than 5%. Everything else is gel (caratinine, flavor enhancers, color enhancers). The pink color of this “meat” is given by color enhancers along with special lamps. If you turn off the lamps in the window, you will see that the color is green.

Raw smoked sausages. As before, no one smokes. Smoke liquids are used, in which, again, formaldehyde.

Dairy products with a long shelf life (more than 2 months). Anything stored for more than 2 weeks should not be consumed. Aseptic packaging is a packaging with an antibiotic.

Mayonnaise in plastic bags. Vinegar found in mayonnaise, although it should not be there, corrodes the walls of plastic packaging, releasing carcinogens. Only neutral products can be placed in plastic packaging.

Watermelons. If you were carried 10 times, then on the 11th it may not be carried. Watermelon - fertilized with such substances that it is the first candidate for poisoning.

Grapes that do not spoil. Grapes are eaten by mushrooms on the vine. It has not yet been removed from the branch, but mushrooms are already eating it. Therefore, if some shoo-mouse is sold there and lies for more than 5 days, you should know that it is treated with chloroform and other serious antioxidants.

Pepper (out of season) Absolutely genetically modified product.

Yeast bread. White bread. Eating yeast bread, you eat mushrooms. Preference should be given to rye bread. Refined white flour of the highest grades, like other refined products, is confidently included in the top of unhealthy foods. "Sliced ​​loaf" is not a complete bread. This is a "bun", with all the consequences.

Purchased mushrooms

Dried apricots, prunes, raisins. If you see beautiful dried apricots or raisins, pass by. Think about what needs to be done with it in order to keep the apricot as if it were fresh from the tree. Dried apricots should be ugly and shriveled.

Ice cream. Especially in specialized establishments like Baskin Robins. Or foreign ice cream. Now it is virtually impossible to find ice cream made from milk. If you find a real ice cream made from milk somewhere, then you can safely buy it. Fruit ice creams are naked essences, there is nothing natural in them.

Cupcakes in packages. Rolls. They do not get stale, do not deteriorate, do not dry out, nothing is done with them at all. He will lie down for a month. And in a month it will be the same.

Candies. 90% chocolate is not chocolate at all (substitute dyes).

Chocolate bars. This is a gigantic amount of calories combined with chemical additives, genetically modified foods, dyes and flavors. The combination of a large amount of sugar and various chemical additives provides the highest calorie content and the desire to eat them again and again.

Chicken. In particular, men should not eat chicken at all. Because chickens are all on hormones. The chicken receives 6 female hormones, including progesterone. Therefore, if a man begins to eat female hormones, his testosterone naturally drops to a level that cannot be restored later. The ram is the only animal that will not eat any hormones. Eat meat from non-commercial lines. Chicken is now the most commercial product!

Instant coffee. Men can't at all! Categorically! There is a complete degeneration of the hormonal glands.

Flavored teas. Drink natural tea in which nothing floats, there is no additional taste. All flavored teas are either with citric acid, or with orange acid, or with some other acid. Habituation occurs instantly. We need to remove all acids from the body.

Refined deodorized vegetable oil. This oil should not be used raw in salads. You can only fry on it.

Mayonnaise, ketchup, various sauces and dressings. They have a high content of dyes, flavor substitutes and GMOs in them, in addition, preservatives that protect these products from spoilage disrupt the intestinal microflora, destroying beneficial microbes in the body.

Potato chips. Potato chips, especially those made not from whole potatoes, but from mashed potatoes. It's essentially a mixture of carbs and fat plus artificial flavors.

Fast food products.

Instant foods: instant noodles, instant soups, mashed potatoes, instant juices such as Yupi and Zuko. All this is solid chemistry that harms the body.

Alcohol. Even in minimal amounts interferes with the absorption of vitamins. In addition, alcohol is very high in calories in itself. It’s probably not worth talking about the effect of alcohol on the liver and kidneys, you already know everything very well. And do not rely on the fact that a certain amount of alcohol is good. All this takes place only with a reasonable approach to its use (quite rarely and in small doses).

Sweet carbonated drinks. A mixture of sugar, chemicals and gases - to quickly distribute harmful substances throughout the body. Coca-Cola, for example, is a wonderful remedy for limescale and rust. Think carefully before sending such a liquid to the stomach. In addition, carbonated sweet drinks are also harmful with a high concentration of sugar - the equivalent of four to five teaspoons diluted in a glass of water. Therefore, you should not be surprised that, quenching your thirst with such a soda, you are thirsty again after five minutes.

Strawberries in winter. Absolutely useless product. There is not a single "lousy" vitamin there.

Juices in packages. We are not talking about any natural juices in this case. There are NO natural juices for sale in packages. NO!!! Don't you dare feed them to children! This is pure chemistry.

Favorite folk products with GMO Peanuts. The petunia gene is implanted. A terribly poisonous substance. And insects don't eat peanuts.

Today, everyone around is talking about proper nutrition, but it has never been so far from a person as it is now. Modern food industry technologies are doing everything to enhance the taste of products and their shelf life, but few people think about quality. As a result, severe diseases multiply, life expectancy is shortened. Do not become a hostage to modern dangerous "goodies", think about what they are fraught with, and be able to stop in time. You should know what are the most harmful foods for a person to be limited in use so as not to harm your own health and the health of your loved ones.

The most harmful foods for humans

Doctors and nutritionists have long been warning people about the dangers of the modern food industry. Today on many sites you can see lists most unhealthy foods for humans which should not be ignored. Of course, this list is quite large, and making your daily menu without this food is simply unrealistic. But at least limit these foods in your diet to the lowest possible minimum.

1. Chips contain fats and carbohydrates in very high concentrations, which contributes to obesity, carcinogens provoke the development of cancer, and hydrogenated substances increase the rate of formation of cholesterol plaques in the blood.
2. Lemonade contain a large number of substances harmful to the body. Firstly, it is felatanin, which contributes to the development of nervous tension, depression and panic. Secondly, these are gases and sugar that disrupt the acid-base balance in the body. Thirdly, these are preservatives that inhibit enzymes, resulting in obesity. Fourthly, this is a huge amount of food dyes, which, accumulating in cells, provoke chronic fatigue syndrome and reduce immunity.
3. Fast food(chebureks, belyashi, shawarma, french fries, hamburgers and other goodies) are cooked in oil with a high content of carcinogens that damage the digestive system.
4. Meat by-products(sausages, wieners, sausages, dumplings, sausages) contain more hidden fats (pork skin, lard, interior fat), flavorings and dyes than meat. In addition, it is a storehouse of toxic and harmful phenolic compounds.
5. Smoked products harmful due to the high content of the same notorious and life-threatening carcinogens.
6. Margarine- one of the most harmful types of fats (transgenic): it disrupts metabolism and acid-base balance, puts on excess weight and increases stomach acidity. Accordingly, everything that contains a large amount of margarine belongs to harmful foods: cakes, puffs, pastries.
7. canned food contain a large number of various carcinogens that kill all the vitamins in their composition. In addition, GMOs are often added to some modern canned food, the harm of which is known to everyone.
8. Coffee, rich in caffeine, depletes the nervous system, increases gastric acidity and, in large quantities, eventually leads first to gastritis, and then, if you don’t catch it in time, to peptic ulcer.
9. Energetic drinks- just a hell of a mixture of caffeine in shock doses, sugar, dyes, chemicals and gases.
10. Yoghurts also fall into the TOP of the most harmful products for humans, because truly living bacteria can only live in a dairy product for two days. And in store-bought yogurts you will find only stabilizers, thickeners, antioxidants and flavors.
11. Everyone's favorite ice cream also contains a huge amount of different flavors and thickeners, which adversely affect the metabolism. Even unhealthy, as it contains a lot of fat and sugar.

This list includes foods that are harmful to the functioning of the body as a whole. The high content of synthetic and toxic substances in them has a complex effect on almost all organ systems, disrupting their activity, and therefore causing irreparable harm to health in general. However, there are a number of products that cause some specific harm to a specific organ.

The most harmful foods for the liver

The liver is one of the most important organs of our body, which must be protected in every possible way. You can select the most harmful foods for the liver, reduce their daily intake and thereby normalize the functioning of the liver.

Drinks that are bad for the liver

1. Alcoholic drinks (with the exception of dark beer and dry red wine).
2. Strongly brewed black tea.
3. Cocoa.
4. Strong coffee without milk.
5. Carbonated drinks.

Plant foods contraindicated for the liver

1. Sour berries.
2. Kiwi.
3. Radish, radish.
4. Garlic.
5. Sorrel, spinach.
6. Cheremsha.
7. cilantro.
8. Legumes.
9. Mushrooms.

Meat food harmful to the liver

1. Fatty meats and fish.
2. Salo.

And other foods that are bad for the liver

1. Hot spices.
2. Hot spices: vinegar, mustard, horseradish.
3. Smoked products.
4. Pickles.
5. Muffin, fresh bread, pancakes, pancakes.
6. Fried, hard-boiled eggs.
7. Sweets.
8. Mayonnaise.
9. Fast foods.
10. Chocolate.

If you reduce the efficiency of the liver by improper nutrition, it will be almost impossible to restore its work in the future. Therefore, it is much easier to know this dangerous list and save an important organ from diseases in time.

The most harmful products for the figure

And one more very important list that every woman who cares about her figure needs to know. These are the most harmful foods for the figure, which contribute to obesity and a set of extra pounds. If you let them out of your sight, you run the risk of becoming plump, sitting on even the most rigid diets. So study and remember.

1. Sweets: sweets, chocolate, cake, ice cream, cakes, marshmallows.
2. Flour: bread, cookies, muffins, pies.
3. Fried food.
4. Red meat.
5. Meat offal.
6. Alcohol.
7. Coffee.
8. Carbonated drinks.
9. Mayonnaise and ketchup.
10. Chips and crackers.
11. Fast foods.
12. Canned food.

Doctors and nutritionists will argue for a long time what are the most harmful foods for the human body to include in these TOPs. It is almost impossible to completely exclude them from your diet, as the lists are striking in their scope. Nevertheless, it is in your power to at least limit the doses of these products so that the damage to your health is minimal.

On August 24, 1853, an employee of the restaurant at the Moon's Lake Lodge hotel in the town of Saratoga Springs (New York) - Mestizo Indian George Crum - by a lucky chance prepared potato chips. Legend has it that none other than himself visited the catering railroad magnate Vanderbilt, and ordered, oddly enough, the most ordinary fried potatoes. However, the spoiled "oligarch" repeatedly returned the served food to the kitchen as insufficiently fried. Then the cook got angry, cut the potatoes into the thinnest slices, fried them in oil until they crunched and served as such Surprisingly, the client not only did not reject the dish, but was also extremely pleased with it. Soon, "Saratoga-style potatoes" entered the restaurant's menu, and then, not without the participation of the same Vanderbilt, began to be produced in take-away packaging - in sachets.

160 years later, chips have gone far from their original - ideal - recipe. And today they top not only the list of the most desirable goodies, but also the rating of the most harmful products. The Weekend project decided to remind which popular dishes doctors consider the most dangerous for our health - and, most importantly, why.

1. Chips and French fries

Popular Diets: Macrobiotics for the MicrosizeThe Weekend project analyzes in detail the 10 most popular diets - with all the pros, cons and sobering comments from a nutritionist. Today's agenda is Madonna's weight loss system, macrobiotics.

A famous catchphrase says that "everything that is pleasant in this world is either illegal, or immoral, or leads to obesity." Potatoes fried in oil do not violate the law and the framework of morality, but, representing a shock dose of starch and fat, inevitably leads to weight gain if such a culinary "refinement" is included in the daily menu.

However, excess weight is a mere trifle in the context of other health problems that the presented dishes are fraught with. And the harm caused by modern chips can hardly be attributed to potatoes - because today they are made from wheat and corn flour and a mixture of starches, including genetically modified soybeans. Add to this all sorts of "tastes" - bacon, sour cream and cheese, red caviar and even (!) "fried potatoes". Of course, they are all components from the E line - food flavorings and flavor enhancers.

In particular, manufacturers especially love E-621, also known as monosodium glutamate. This toxin, acting on the human nervous system, can “make” even the most obscene food tasty and desirable, and moreover, instill addiction to it akin to a drug.

The need, and quite real, not far-fetched, can be "inspired" by french fries. True, it is made from real potatoes, only "genetically improved" - even, smooth, with large tubers in order to facilitate the cleaning process. Cut into slices, it is doused with steam (hence this effect of a crispy crust with a soft core, which is practically unattainable at home), frozen and already in such a semi-finished form they are sent to fast food chains. In the same place, the slices are fried in oil, or rather a mixture of deep-frying oils, which includes a combined "cocktail" of fats, including palm and coconut oil. Such a mixture costs a lot, but once poured, it can be used for up to 7 days without rancidity. During this time, acrolein, acrylamide, glycidamide are formed in it - the breakdown products of fats and strong carcinogens, that is, substances that cause the appearance of cancerous tumors. By the way, in one serving of french fries, with its relatively low nutritional value for fast food of 273 kcal per 100 grams (that is, approximately 340-390 kcal per "standard" portion), contains about 30 grams of such "reusable" fat. It would seem, well, what is 30 grams? To visualize this amount, imagine: about 15 grams of oil fit in one tablespoon, so it’s like we sip a mouth-watering crispy potato with a couple of tablespoons of oil with carcinogens. The average rate of fat consumption per day is 90-100 grams, and they, like other nutrients, are found in one dosage or another in almost all foods.

Doctors are sounding the alarm - and not because, eating chips and french fries, you will soon be unable to fasten your favorite jeans. Elevated cholesterol, plaques in the vessels, atherosclerosis, the risk of heart attacks and strokes, degenerative changes in the liver, deterioration of sexual function in men and, most importantly, the development of cancerous tumors, and not only in the gastrointestinal tract - all these consequences of adherence to fast food are observed by scientists in the United States already almost 70 years old.

In Russia, the fast food industry flourished a little over 20 years ago, in the post-perestroika era. Today, both the "deficiency" and the "dashing 90s" are already behind us - alas, family holidays are still accompanied by a trip to a fast food restaurant, and an evening's rest with watching a movie involves a bag of chips under the armpit.

2. Burgers and hot dogs

The above side effects can also be attributed to "quick" sandwiches, but here, in addition to frying in oil, the situation is complicated by the "meat component". In order to have enough protein for everyone who wants to have a quick and satisfying snack, cows, pigs and fish are bred on an industrial scale and by industrial methods, using special compound feeds (sometimes on anabolics) for rapid weight gain. By the way, thanks to such meat and fish, which are prescribed in our menu, we become extremely resistant to the action of antibiotics when they are really needed, that is, when we are sick. Against this background, the high calorie content of the dish and the same cholesterol seem to be nothing at all.

Further - more, the ubiquitous soy, glutamate and a whole range of E-components are added to a very dubious protein: preservatives (so that the cutlet can keep its presentation for years), stabilizers and synthetic dyes. These additives irritate our digestive system, dull the feeling of fullness, make us eat more and more often. The stomach is stretched, and already without help from the "E-shek" begins to demand the continuation of the banquet.

It would seem - a bun, cutlet, lettuce, well, cheese, well, mayonnaise. But, you must admit, a burger made from homemade products is not at all similar in taste to its "restaurant" counterpart. Indeed, in the kitchen arsenal, we, fortunately, do not have those food additives that are stuffed with minced meat in mass production. Namely, they make us return to the food point again and again, suggesting that it is not so tasty at home.

3. Sausage row and canned food

The described "meat nightmares" would also be true for sausages, if only natural meat was used in their production. However, the dangers of hidden fat should also be noted here - after all, even the most natural sausage product consists mainly of pork skins and lard. Skin, cartilage, offal and meat leftovers, plus 25-30% transgenic soy and, of course, preservatives, stabilizers, thickeners, emulsifiers, antioxidants, food colors, flavors - this is the approximate composition of any sausages, regardless of the variety and brand of the manufacturer.

Canned food is, in fact, a dead product that has retained its relative nutritional suitability solely due to the "solution" of "E-shek", acetic acid, sugar and, of course, a huge amount of salt (with a person's need for 6-10 grams of sodium -chlorine per day, only 100 grams of canned food contains an average of 15 grams of salt).

4. Instant noodles and puree

Beef, chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, plus almost spaghetti with almost sauce - this is how the producers of miracle food from bags offer royally for lunch, dinner and breakfast. And this is exactly the case with "free cheese". Of course, it would be very convenient to pour boiling water over the contents of a plastic cup for 3-5 minutes - and voila! - get actually Italian pasta, fettuccine or risotto. In fact, we will get a hot (for faster absorption) "mix" of all possible nutritional supplements and an absolute zero benefit.

With the systematic use of such "feeds" in the body, the system collapses - he seemed to have received food and calories, but there were too few substances he really needed for normal functioning. Deprived of food, it soon sends SOS signals to the brain, and we again feel like we are hungry.

Here it would not be superfluous to recall under what codes on the product packaging certain assistants of manufacturers are hiding: preservatives(can cause cancer, kidney stones, liver destruction, food allergies, intestinal upset, oxygen starvation, blood pressure disorders) - E 200 to 290 and E 1125, stabilizers and thickeners (cancer, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and liver) - E 249-252, E 400-476, E 575-585 and E 1404-1450, emulsifiers(cancer, indigestion) - E 322-442, E 470-495, antioxidants(diseases of the liver and kidneys, allergic reactions) - E300-312 and E320-321, food colorings (cancer, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys, nervous disorders and allergic reactions) - E 100-180, E 579, E 585, flavor enhancers(nervous disorders, brain damage) - E 620-637.

In fairness, it is worth noting: there is a modest list of additives that are considered harmless and even beneficial to health - it, if desired, is easy to find on the Internet.

These "magic" sauces, which traditionally accompany most fast food dishes, can turn the most healthy food into poison. Ketchup, in addition to stabilizers, emulsifiers and preservatives, contains chemical dyes and almost a fifth consists of sugar. Such dressing perfectly hides the natural taste of even the most unappetizing, or even simply spoiled, dishes - it’s not for nothing that they say that “everything can be eaten with ketchup.”

Mayonnaise, on the other hand, is a carrier of so-called trans fats - isomers of fatty acids that can deceive our body by integrating into cell biomembranes instead of natural omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Transconfigurations lead to oncogenesis, atherosclerosis, increase the risk of developing diabetes and, to put it mildly, impair immunity - they interfere with the work of the enzymes that guard our body. An additional danger is plastic packaging, where mayonnaise is often poured in order to save money - the vinegar contained in the sauce has a super ability to suck out carcinogens from it. Guess where they go.

6. Chocolate bars, lollipops and gummies

Without the danger of acquiring diabetes, oncology, obesity, osteoporosis, dental problems and allergic reactions, a person can eat a maximum of 50 grams of sugar per day. This upper limit of the norm is about 10 teaspoons, but do not forget that in addition to the “pure” sugar that we put in tea or coffee, glucose and sucrose are waiting for us, say, in the same ketchup. Or in yogurt. But you never know where: it’s worth reading the composition of familiar products, a subheading in the column “carbohydrates” - and it will become obvious how much we exceed the norm allowed by WHO (World Health Organization), even without auxiliary materials in the form of chocolates, caramels and cakes (by the way, the last is another ideal carrier of trans fats, along with mayonnaise).

These products are the owners of the highest glycemic indexes, that is, the sugar from them is absorbed almost instantly. At the same time, they do not contain any useful substances - unlike such glycemic leaders as honey and dried fruits. Moreover, bright candies, glazed sweets and gummies with all sorts of flavors can hardly be called "food" at all - they are rather a mixture of sweeteners and sweeteners, stabilizers, thickeners and gelling agents, emulsifiers, antioxidants and food colors.

7. Sweet sodas and juices

Popular diets: weight loss by blood typeThe Weekend project analyzes in detail the 10 most popular diets - with all the pros, cons and sobering comments from a nutritionist. Today on the agenda is the legendary nutrition by blood types.

By the way, about the rate of sugar consumption per day - one liter of cola contains about 112 grams of sugar and about 420 calories (despite the fact that the daily intake for most people fits into 2000-2500 kcal). Add to this caffeine, dyes and phosphoric acid, which “washes” calcium out of the body, plus carbon dioxide, which allows you to distribute harmful components even faster throughout the body.

Sodas in the "light" version are considered more preferable, as they do not harm the figure. However, at zero calories, they contain sweeteners - mainly aspartame, which breaks down into formaldehyde (class A carcinogen), methanol and phenylalanine (toxic in combination with other proteins).

It is poorly washed off with saliva, irritates the oral mucosa and provokes thirst again and again - in order to get rid of the sugary aftertaste. Yes, and the harmlessness for the figure is very doubtful - soda contributes to the formation of cellulite, and in the long term for lovers of "light" drinks, there is a metabolic disorder.

But if with soda, in general, no one has any illusions, then in relation to "boxed" juices, for some reason, the attitude is very strong not only about their harmlessness, but even about their health benefits. However, with the exception of carbon dioxide, their composition is almost identical to the composition of sweet sodas. One glass of orange juice from a bag contains about six teaspoons of sugar, and one glass of apple juice contains about seven. Undoubtedly, apples and oranges themselves contain sugar, but not only - vitamins and dietary fiber become a pleasant bonus, and glucose is no longer absorbed into the blood at such lightning speed. Packaged juices do not have such advantages - reconstituted from a concentrate and envy durable, they can vary in cost depending on the "hype" of the brand, but they remain the same unhealthy.

8. Popcorn

By itself, corn does not pose any health hazard - yes, carbohydrate, yes, it contains starches, and the calorie content for plant foods is considerable - about 330 kcal per 100 grams of product. But it contains fiber and a lot of useful substances - vitamins A, C, E, thiamine, niacin, folic acid, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc.

In a word, popcorn is just fried corn grains - it will not be in the ranking of the most harmful products. But everything changes when they come - oil, salt, sugar, caramelizers, dyes, flavor enhancers, flavors. By the way, the dose of salt in the classic salted popcorn goes off scale so that no chips could even dream of - and this is fraught, at least, with an increase in pressure and disruption of the kidneys. Well, the nutritional value of popcorn, thanks to all kinds of additives, increases to an average of 500 kcal per 100 grams.

9. Alcohol

Degenerative disorders in the cerebral cortex, destruction of the liver, oncology, genetic mutations - it would seem that everyone is well aware of the dangers of alcohol for the human body. Drinking people live an average of 10-15 years less, and the quality of this life is very low - in addition to the above health problems, they are haunted by mental disorders and depressive states. 1/3 of all suicides (and, by the way, 50% of accidents) occur while intoxicated.

Even in very small doses, alcohol interferes with the absorption of vitamins. In addition, it is very high in calories in itself - 7 kcal per 1 gram (for comparison, the nutritional value of pure proteins and carbohydrates is 4 kcal per 1 gram). And the main danger is that the border between “use” and addiction is very shaky, it is easy to cross it without even noticing it.

"Light" cakes, cottage cheese desserts, yogurts and mayonnaises only seem to be a friend and helper of people who are watching their figure and cholesterol. In fact, the very decrease in the fat content in the product is more than offset by an increase in the proportion of carbohydrates - starches, sugars and sweeteners, the dangers of which we have already spoken about.

Thus, the passion for products in the "light" version just contributes to obesity - food additives in them slow down metabolic processes, or even lead to "carbohydrate failures" when the body, which is ready to break down glucose, suddenly discovers that some kind of cyclamate has been slipped into it or aspartame. Not the last role here is played by the psychological moment - since the product is "light", it means that it can be eaten 2-3 times more without remorse (and without a feeling of satiety).

Another negative side of the passion for exclusively low-fat foods is beriberi, because some vital vitamins (A, D, E and K) are fat-soluble. Calcium from low-fat dairy products is also not absorbed.

All the "unhealthy" foods and dishes that we are used to eating every day can be divided into two groups: harmful, that is, causing certain harm to health with regular use, and dangerous, that is, capable of causing food poisoning.

harmful products

It is they who “give” us extra pounds and take away precious years of life, bring with them obesity, lethargy and poor health.

Chips and fried potatoes got to the first place due to the huge amount of boiling oil in which they are fried. Today, even a child knows that potato slices fried in oil with a crispy crust are saturated with carcinogens that are very harmful to our health.

coca cola, pepsi, lemonade and other sweet carbonated drinks are carriers of the most harmful substances. Regularly consumed soda will absolutely bring obesity and metabolic disorders, and in severe cases - diabetes. The same “joys” are brought by the uncontrolled use of store-bought juices, which contain anything but natural fruit juices. In addition, sugary drinks will create problems with your stomach and tooth enamel.

Sausages and other varieties of boiled sausages do not consist of meat at all, as many people think, but mainly of soy, a large amount of fat, as well as all kinds of synthetic dyes, thickeners, flavors, flavor enhancers, and so on, so on, so on ...

Fast food, that is, everything that we put into this concept: hot dogs, pizza, shawarma, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, etc. These dishes are quite tasty, satisfying and inexpensive, even the most needy person can afford them. At the same time, fast food contains a huge amount of transgenic fats, chemical substitutes and carcinogens, meat stuffing is often made from stale and low-quality meat.

Mayonnaise- an indispensable ingredient in most salads. Today, this product is produced (like many others) not in accordance with GOST, but according to TU (technical specifications), which each manufacturer determines for his products himself. Thus, mayonnaise, in addition to the obligatory transgenic (very harmful) fats, may contain any components. If you love mayonnaise so much, try making it yourself at home. It’s not difficult, but tasty and not as harmful as store-bought mayonnaise.

Margarine almost entirely composed of trans fats, and also contains synthetic dyes and other components, the presence of which you better not even know. You can eat margarine, perhaps, only if you are indifferent to your own health.

Smoked meats“To the eyeballs” are filled with the most harmful carcinogens, this is due to the way they are prepared. If your health and well-being are dear to you, give up smoked sausage, lard, fish and other “goodies”.

White bread, surprisingly, also took its place in the list of harmful products. Butter bread baked from premium wheat can cause obesity, diabetes and numerous problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

Confectionery are also quite harmful, especially if consumed in excessive quantities. Train yourself to substitute apples, oranges, and dried fruits for sweets, sweets, and cakes. The mass of transgenic and saturated fats found in cakes and cookies does not at all contribute to either health or harmony.

Semi-finished products, which today are presented in many in our supermarkets, are convenient and quick to prepare, but at the same time they are filled with various preservatives, enhancers, substitutes and other "improvers" that are unhealthy. Therefore, try to include ready-made cutlets, dumplings, pancakes in your menu as little as possible.

Dangerous products

Dangerous products

This list was identified by American scientists. According to their research, it is these products that most often led to poisoning over the past two decades.

Sausage and sausages- they contain hidden fats, soy, starch, hide, lard and additives with the prefix "E". Excessive consumption of sausages increases cholesterol and leads to food poisoning.

Potato- a product in which pathogenic microbes and bacteria accumulate, for example, E. coli, salmonella, dysentery pathogens, etc.

black olives- these are most often green olives, which are useful in themselves, but to acquire black color they are tinted with ferrous gluconate. And this is very harmful to the human body, because it leads to an excess of iron.

Ice cream. In order for this delicacy to be called safe, it is necessary to carefully observe the strict conditions of storage and transportation, which are not adhered to by all manufacturers and traders. In poorly washed ice cream containers, staphylococcus, salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria freely multiply.

Cheese, the product itself is extremely useful, can be a considerable danger, especially for pregnant women. Camembert, brie, and feta are often homemade, unpasteurized, and therefore may contain a bacterium that leads to the development of a disease called listeriosis. This disease often causes miscarriages.

Eggs are known to be breeding grounds for salmonella. The most dangerous dishes are those prepared from thermally raw eggs: soft-boiled eggs, eggnog.

Tomatoes may contain bacteria that are harmful to human health. Damaged fruits are most dangerous, since it is through cracks and dents that bacteria get inside. It is best to stew or fry tomatoes - this is how, by the way, useful substances are formed in them.

Crab sticks do not consist of crab meat at all, but of a small part of minced fish, plus starch, water, stabilizers, thickeners, preservatives, and so on. All this easily deteriorates and fails, it is very easy to get poisoned with crab sticks.

Greenery- very healthy, but only grown in clean, bacteria-free soil. Viruses and bacteria, as well as other harmful substances, easily penetrate from the soil into greens, so “untested” greens often cause food poisoning.

Summer is coming, and in the heat, the number of poisonings increases sharply. Take care of your health, treat the choice of products with all care!
