Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I would also add that meat is now being sprayed with viruses so at the VERY least I would definately think twice about eating any meat without cooking it first- such as sandwhich meat.

Posted by: " SparrowHawk " SparrowHawk little_sparrowhawk Thu Feb 15, 2007 4:38 am (PST) The six unhealthiest foods to avoid at all costs! 1. Soda. An average can of soda has 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, plus artificial food colors and sulphites. Diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners, which are even more unhealthy, and have even been linked to cancer. 2. Potato chips and French fries. These popular snack foods contain acrylamide, a known cancer-causing agent that is formed when foods are baked or fried at high temperatures. They're also full of trans fats, which have been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. 3. Doughnuts. Break a doughnut down, and you'll find nothing more than refined sugar and flour, artificial flavors, and partially hydrogenated oil that is loaded with trans fats. A true heart attack on a plate, doughnuts have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. 4. Coffee cake and other baked goods. These foods almost always contain high amounts of trans fats as well as corn syrup, preservatives, and artificial flavors and colors. In fact, not only are these foods often made with hydrogenated oils, but they're usually fried in them too. True triggers for diabetes, cancer, and heart disease! 5. Luncheon meats/hot dogs. Processed meats like these contain a cancer-causing ingredient known as sodium nitrite. 6. Canned soup. Most canned soups have high levels of trans fats, sodium, and artificial preservatives. Just one cup can contain almost 1,000 milligrams of salt, nearly half of the recommended daily guidelines. This is a blood pressure nightmare! --QualityHealth. com Walk in Balance, Lady SparrowHawk Gealach Eanna ) /\/\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
