The Five Absolute Worst Foods You Can Eat
By Dr. Narinder Saini. MD Cardiologist


Doughnuts
Doughnuts are fried, full of sugar and white flour and most all varieties contain trans fat. Store-bought doughnuts are made up of about 35 percent to 40 percent trans fat. An average doughnut will give you about 200 to 300 calories, mostly from sugar.

Soda
One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. I can't think of any good reason to ever have it. Drink water.

French Fries (and Nearly All Commercially Fried Foods)
Anything that is fried, even vegetables, has the issue of trans fat and the potent cancer-causing substance acrylamide.

Chips
Most commercial chips, and this includes corn chips, potato chips, tortilla chips, you name it, are high in trans fat.

Fried Seafood
This category represents the culmination of non-healthy aspects of food. Fried shrimp, clams, oysters, lobsters, and so on have all the issues of trans fat and acrylamide mentioned above, plus an added risk of mercury.
