Some foods in our daily diet can be deadly to our health. Daniela Krell, a nutritionist at the Bavarian Consumer Center, is convinced of this.
According to the German publication Focus, she named nine such foods whose regular consumption poses a threat to our health.
- Fried sausages. This dish is in first place because of the high amount of fat and salt that lead to the risk of developing cardiovascular and cancer.
- Canned food. Food in tin cans, according to the expert, is also dangerous for health, as canned food contains harmful bisphenol A, which can lead to cancer, infertility, and developmental disorders in children.
- Fish. However, not all fish, but those contaminated with mercury. It depends not only on the species and age of the fish but also on its habitat.
- White rice. According to the expert, white rice is dangerous because it may contain arsenic. In particular, this applies to polished white rice, so it and products containing it should be consumed in limited quantities.
- Donuts. The danger was also found in donuts. According to Creel, their harmfulness lies in the cheap palm oil in which donuts are baked: when heated, such oil creates a large amount of carcinogens.
- Popcorn. The oil contained in microwave popcorn is also harmful. In addition, popcorn is dangerous due to its high content of sugar, salt, flavorings, and diacetyl, a substance that causes lung disease when inhaled.
- Chips and French fries. According to research cited by Daniela Krell, frequent consumption of French fries and chips almost doubles the risk of death. This is not only due to their salt and fat content but also due to the presence of carcinogenic acrylamide.
- Frozen pizza. Frozen pizza intended for cooking in the oven or microwave also increases the risk of cancer. In addition to being high in fat and calories, frozen pizza also contains many artificial flavors and flavor enhancers. And salami sausage, which is added to frozen pizza, is dangerous because it creates dangerous carcinogenic nitrosamines when heated.
- Soda. Any sweet soda is also dangerous. This is because sugar and artificial flavors in it increase the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
