Foods to Never Eat Again

Health nuts have their lists of foods they won't eat for various reasons. I tend to stay away from artificial sweeteners, microwave popcorn, margarine, and anything with a high amount of sodium (greater than 25% per serving). True Activist put out a list of Nine Foods You Should Never Eat Again. The items on the list are not surprising as they are things I try to avoid, but it is always interesting to read more about why I should be staying away from the highly processed foods. Among the foods on the list are white bread, white rice, frozen meals, deli meats, energy bars, soy, and "diet" anything. I didn't realize energy bars could be so non nutritious. I do not buy many of them, but it is one more thing I will have to be mindful of when grocery shopping. Also, I stated I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners, and those sweeteners are why True Activist listed "diet" foods as being unhealthy. Those sweeteners can cut the calories, but they are artificial and often your body does not know how to break them down. The sweeteners have also been linked to serious health problems like endocrine disruption. Here's the link so you can find out why these options are so bad for your health.
