- Margarine And Fake Butters
Margarine is very unhealthy, but butter is healthy. Margarine are just unhealthy processed foods containing so many chemicals that your body will repel. Go for butters instead of margarine, they are not a bit good for you.Some other disadvantages of consumption of margarine include:

- Fruit Juices
Seriously have you ever asked yourself what these fruit juices were actually made of? There are no fruits in them, they should better be called synthetic juices...Lol! Some of them contain almost equal amounts of sugar with the dreaded colas and other massive sugar containing beverages.
Ok, look at this! Natural oranges spoil after just a few days, but the orange juices stay for months. Does it mean that the juice in oranges don't spoil? Big NO! They are packaging tons of chemicals which they know are unhealthy for you. The later results are an unhealthy you, and you patronize the medical doctors. Some of the sicknesses don't even show us until after years and then complications set in.
- Sports Drinks
Sports Drinks were meant for athletes and people who just finished going through some vigorous sports activities, to cover for the glycogen they might necessarily loose because of their sweating.It was never meant for everyone. To help provide these glycogen, the sports drinks contain:
⚬ Water: To help replenish the water you lose
⚬ Sugar: To help you replace lost energy
⚬ Electrolytes: To replace those electrolytes lost during sweating
However, you don;t necessarily need electrolytes in your body except you are going through some intense physical activities.
- "Healthy" Breakfast Cereals
You saw the " " in the healthy right? They're not there for fancy. These marketers are so clever and are pretty sure that once you hear healthy, you'd comfortably gulp any products in. They tag their processed breakfast cereals healthy to attract you and you unconsciously consume.They will not be happy to hear that you know this now! Please share to your friends to see them too. Just carefully take a look at the ingredients those cereals are made up of, and you will be shocked at the quantity of sugar you consume every breakfast. Please ignore those labels and tags that read low-fat, fat-free, whole grain and other things like that, they will never sample the real awful contents.
- Low-Fat or Fat-Free Foods
This is yet another scam by the food industries we patronize daily. Stay away from any foods that have been tagged 'low-fats' or 'fat'free', because they are simply so heavily processed. They contain a lot of so many harmful substances and haven't ever been proven to be healthy for human consumption.The marketers use mind controlling strategies on humans to get them purchase the products and would never expose the real harmful contents. When people started becoming more health conscious and reduced consumption of fatty food, they took another strategy and that was this. The truth is that any food that has the fat removed would taste like crap, so you have to pour in a lot of artificial to make it taste better.
- Low Carb Junk Foods
Once you see a product tagged 'low carb', look at it more than two times before you think of patronizing them. Most of these foods that are tagged 'low carbs' in the supermarkets are simply containing heavy chemicals and artificial preservatives, and so grossly unhealthy for the human bodies. It is still because of the above 'low fats' trend and people are rushing into very unhealthy foods.It is better to go natural or unprocessed if you'd like to eat anything.
- Canned Tomato Sauce
In this part of the world, they are now sachet tomatoes...Lol! They are all the same crap, very unhealthy and containing no single tomatoes' seeds. These tomatoes contain in hidden quantities things like sugar which are grosly unhealthy.Regular consumption could lead you into things like tooth decay, diabetics, hearth disease and obesity. Each of these is a critical issue on its own and we'd never want to experience them.
You can however consider going for brands which have lesser sodium and sugar, and remember they were all preserved.
