junk food

top 10 list of worst junk foods people commonly eat:

10. fruit drinks. not to be confused with fruit juices, fruit drinks are 10% or less real fruit sugar. they're loaded with artificial colouring and sucrose. definitely teeth rotters.

9. white bread. yes, this is a junk food. every time you're looking at a slice of white bread, you are seeing a slice of sugar - it acts in the body the same way.

8. doughnut. its white bread dipped and deep fried and sugar. what can be worse? no wonder there's a big hole in the middle, it's nutritional zero.

7. decaffeinated coffee. an excellent way to remove the caffein and to add chemical solvent residue right into your favorite beverage.

6. pop. let's see now, how do you spell increased bone breakage? p-o-p.

5. diet pop. you get all the dandy benefits of pop plus artificial sweetener, which has been shown in studies to actually increase your sugar cravings and alter your brain chemistry.

4. sugary breakfast cereals. now here's a guarantee: if you want to start your day in a low life force mode, then this is the junk breakfast for you.

3. deep dish pizza. this is an excellent way to stack, jack and pack your g.i tract with one big dollop of sodium dough and fat - an overnight weight-gain wonder.

2. ice cream. here's a beauty. high in sugar and high in fat, for another whack attack on your pancreas and your arteries.

1. french fries and potato chips. yes, it's unparalleled sodium-loading enzyme-dead food. but new information now shows that it's high in acrylimide, a known cancer-causing agent. in fact, the amount of acrylimide in a serving of fast-food french fries is 300 times above the U.S Environmental Protection agency's limit set for one glass of water.

well, as usual, got this from an email...but gosh! i don't think i can avoid these junk foods! especially now that i'm a certified bum...and heck, i love food wether junk or not...hahaha!
