Unhealthy/Decadent Food
Certain foods are not only bad for your health but also for your teeth and waistline like:
- Sugary drinks: High consumption of sugary drinks increases the risk of weight and type 2 diabetes. Children who drink a lot of soft drinks are likely to be obese and also rotten their teeth.
- French fries: It contains a lot of fat, starch, and acrylamide. Acrylamide is found in plant-based foods that are fried, baked or roasted like french fries, cookies, potatoes, coffee and even cereals. Acrylamide is added to grout, cement, paper products, and even cigarette smoke. Its consumption can even cause cancer.
- Refined Grains and Oils: Whole grains consist of bran, germ, and endosperm. In the refining process, this bran and germ are removed during milling. White bread, white rice, pasta, and cereals usually lack this texture so they lack fiber, vitamins, and iron. Fiber decreases the risk of heart diseases, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Similarly, refined oils are dense in calories, so our bodies find it difficult to break them and the by-products that are formed during digestion are toxic. This high trans fat increases bad cholesterol and decreases the good cholesterol.
- Processed meat: They are often preserved using smoke, salt, and curing with some added preservatives that can cause colorectal as well as stomach cancers.
- Red Meat: Eating red meat more than 18 ounces per week can cause colorectal cancer. The study proves that it contains compounds that promote cancer.
- Candy: It is rich in sugar and calories, thereby causing obesity, heart diseases, and tooth decay.
