Top 5 Worst Pain & Disease Causing Foods
Cookies, candy, ice cream, brownies, doughnuts … all of these are loaded with sugar, which drives up your blood sugar and insulin, along with levels of inflammatory messengers called cytokines. This can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes.
4. Bagels, Muffins and Pasta
Any member of the refined carbohydrate family – white bread, muffins, pasta, bagels, etc. – drives up inflammation due to the same reasons as sugar. In fact, there’s not much difference between refined carbs like a bagel and a heaping serving of sugar, as far as your body is concerned.
3. French Fries
These make the list because they’re a common source of synthetic trans fats, which come from foods that contain partially hydrogenated oil. Trans fats are strongly linked to systemic, chronic inflammation and are so bad for you that the Institute of Medicine recommends you simply keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible or at zero. French fries are by no means the only culprit; trans fats are also commonly found in savory snacks (like microwave popcorn), frozen pizzas, cake, cookies, pies, margarines and spreads, ready-to-use frosting, and coffee creamers.
2. Blackened or Barbecued Foods
Any time a food is cooked at high temperature (this includes foods that are broiled, fried, grilled, blackened, barbecued, etc.), toxic advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed. AGEs are readily absorbed by your body, where they wreak havoc, causing high levels of inflammation. While grilling, frying and broiling your food is known to increases AGEs, stewing, boiling, braising, crock pot or steaming will instead help minimize the amount formed in your food.
1. Vegetable Oils (Polyunsaturated)
Soybean, canola, corn, peanut, safflower and sunflower oils are examples of vegetable oils that are rich in omega-6 fats, which most Americans consume far too much of (pick up any processed food in your pantry and you’ll probably see
soybean, canola, or corn oil on the label). The omega-6 fats found in those highly processed vegetable oils are damaged and inflammatory, which is why it’s important to limit the amount of vegetable oils you consume.
These five foods create a heavy load on your digestion and elimination systems, making them work overtime. Not only do these foods not provide any beneficial nutrients required to fuel your body and elimination processes, but it also adds toxins and steals nutrients needed to process this junk by the body. These are real nutrition bandits that create obstacles to cure and significant imbalances in the body.
