- 0:37to believe that anything with diet in
- 0:39the title is good for you while diet
- 0:41products may be better than the
- 0:42alternative they can't take the place of
- 0:44fruits and vegetables you know real diet
- 0:47food various diet snacks and drinks
- 0:49contain artificial sweeteners which can
- 0:51be packed with harmful chemicals
- 0:52aspartame in particular is one of the
- 0:55most controversial sugar substitutes
- 0:56with some studies showing a correlation
- 0:58to headaches heart disease and weight
- 1:00gain red 3 another chemical has
- 1:03additionally shown a link between food
- 1:04coloring and cancer although lower
- 1:06calorie is plastered on the front you
- 1:08should really read the ingredients on
- 1:09the back number 9 canned foods anybody
- 1:13who thinks doomsday may be on the
- 1:14horizon probably has a bunker stocked
- 1:16with canned goods
- 1:17just in case while they have a long
- 1:18shelf life canned foods can arguably do
- 1:21more harm to your body than a zombie
- 1:22apocalypse according to a 2018 study
- 1:25about 10 percent of canned products
- 1:27still contained the chemical BPA which
- 1:29potentially leads to diabetes and cancer
- 1:31canned products are also often loaded
- 1:33with salt causing a high blood pressure
- 1:35canned food can even amount to a
- 1:36life-threatening illness called botulism
- 1:38in 2015 a botulism outbreak left a woman
- 1:42dead and 28 others sick canned veggies
- 1:45might seem like a healthy option but
- 1:47you're better off with frozen greens
- 1:48number eight flavored yogurt if you're
- 1:51trying to eat healthier but have craving
- 1:52for ice cream yogurt may seem like an
- 1:54ideal option Greek yogurt with fruit
- 1:56toppings in particular can indeed be a
- 1:58nutritional eating choice especially
- 2:00when stacked up against other snacks
- 2:02flavored yogurts however sometimes do
- 2:04more damage than you assume in addition
- 2:06to artificial sweeteners a six
- 2:08serving of flavored yogurt can contain
- 2:10anywhere between 15 and 30 grams of
- 2:12sugar with unnecessary additives you're
- 2:14likely to intake more sugar than calcium
- 2:16or protein you want to be especially
- 2:17wary of which type of drinkable yogurt
- 2:19you buy as well some may help with
- 2:21weight loss others will have the
- 2:23opposite effect number 7 potato chips
- 2:26hey they can't be that bad for you when
- 2:28potatoes are an essential ingredient
- 2:29right yes again given their delicious
- 2:32crispy taste we'd like to tell you that
- 2:34potato chips have real nutritional value
- 2:36but that unfortunately isn't the case
- 2:38this snack food is not only high in
- 2:40sodium levels but calories and fat as
- 2:42well on top of that the process of
- 2:44frying potato chips develops a chemical
- 2:46compound called acrylamide which is also
- 2:48found in cigarettes it doesn't help that
- 2:51few people have the restraint to eat
- 2:52just one potato chip without finishing
- 2:54the whole bag putting consumers on the
- 2:56fast-track to high blood pressure and
- 2:57weight gain
- 2:58number 6 processed fruit drinks much
- 3:01like some diet products processed fruit
- 3:03drinks can be misleading when it comes
- 3:04to advertising fresh colorful fruit is
- 3:07always displayed on the label but what
- 3:09they don't show you is all of the sugar
- 3:10and artificial sweeteners that are added
- 3:12while some juices can certainly be good
- 3:14sources for vitamin C and potassium
- 3:15others have more sugar than soft drinks
- 3:18although it's often marketed as a
- 3:19healthy choice for kids the American
- 3:21Academy of Pediatrics actually announced
- 3:23in 2017 that children under 1 shouldn't
- 3:26drink fruit juice given the lack of
- 3:28nutritional value drinking too much
- 3:30sugary bottled juice can even lead to
- 3:31dental decay and an increased risk of
- 3:34type 2 diabetes number 5
- 3:36french fries there's no denying that
- 3:38french fries can make for a scrumptious
- 3:40snack or side dish before adding them to
- 3:42your order though take a minute to
- 3:44consider the carbohydrates high salt
- 3:46content and other health risks involved
- 3:48these salty treats are gateways to high
- 3:50blood pressure and obesity just like
- 3:52potato chips french fries also contain
- 3:54the cancerous chemical known as
- 3:56acrylamide which is fitting considering
- 3:58that they kind of look like yellow
- 3:59deep-fried cigarettes to add insult to
- 4:01injury people frequently dip their
- 4:03french fries in condiments like mayo and
- 4:05ketchup plus if you give someone a
- 4:07basket of fries chances are they'll want
- 4:09a fat juicy burger to go with them
- 4:10number 4 white bread and pasta since
- 4:13grain consumed such a significant
- 4:15portion of the food pyramid many were
- 4:17led to believe that white bread and
- 4:18pasta were not only good for you but a
- 4:20pair
- 4:20only took precedence over veggies with
- 4:22the evolution of my plate however people
- 4:24are starting to become more aware of
- 4:26which grain foods they should be eating
- 4:27and which ones to avoid in the case of
- 4:30both white bread and pasta
- 4:31they're basically refined grains without
- 4:33bran and germ this removes roughly 25%
- 4:35of a grains protein as well as several
- 4:38nutrients the good news is that you
- 4:39don't have to cut bread or pasta out of
- 4:41your diet entirely just try to get the
- 4:43whole grain kind number-three sugary
- 4:45cereals breakfast is the most important
- 4:47meal of the day if your cupboard is
- 4:49stocked with nothing but chocolate
- 4:50frosted sugar bombs though you might be
- 4:52better off skipping breakfast altogether
- 4:53although their names may suggest
- 4:55otherwise Froot Loops and Apple Jacks
- 4:57have little to no nutritional value heck
- 5:00some cereals don't even try to hide how
- 5:02sugary they are such as Count Chocula
- 5:03Lucky Charms and cocoa puffs Honey
- 5:06Smacks in particular are almost 60%
- 5:08sugar at that point why not just have
- 5:11breakfast at a candy shop what's more
- 5:13many of these cereals are full of
- 5:15refined sugars which feed cancer cells
- 5:17for a healthier option pour yourself a
- 5:19bowl of General Mills Cheerios number
- 5:21two processed meats there's nothing like
- 5:24waking up to the smell of bacon sizzling
- 5:25on the stove and no barbecue would be
- 5:27complete without a plate of hot dogs
- 5:29alas it saddens us to say that processed
- 5:31meats have been linked to colorectal
- 5:32cancer
- 5:33not to mention heart disease according
- 5:35to a 2013 report from BMC medicine those
- 5:38who eat over 160 grams of processed meat
- 5:41per day are 44 percent more likely to
- 5:43die within 12 years that being said
- 5:45studies have also shown that eating a
- 5:47little bit of processed meat as well as
- 5:49red meats can actually be beneficial to
- 5:51one's health given all the premature
- 5:52deaths however not everybody has the
- 5:54willpower to eat 20 grams or less number
- 5:56one soda whether you're out to dinner at
- 5:59the movie theater or strolling through a
- 6:01grocery store soft drinks are a favorite
- 6:03beverage for many consumers as
- 6:05refreshing as these sugary sodas might
- 6:06taste
- 6:07people are gulping down numerous
- 6:08chemicals artificial coloring and empty
- 6:11calories drinking too much soda has
- 6:13contributed to everything from weight
- 6:15gain to kidney stones to dental decay
- 6:17and that's not even scratching the
- 6:19surface it's no wonder why soda has
- 6:21sparked so much controversy in recent
- 6:22years with many arguing that they should
- 6:24be banned from schools to help prevent
- 6:26childhood obesity oh and for anyone who
- 6:28thinks diet soda is perfectly alright we
