100 Unhealthiest Foods On the Planet


Sorry to break it to you, but even though there are some foods you simply just can't ever seem to resist (we're talking cookies, nachos, onion rings—the
stuff that taste oh so good) they're just not the best for you healthwise. It's these nutrient-deficient foods you're going to want to avoid, as they can truly
wreck your body, especially if you're trying to make healthier choices during these times when it's much easier to just load up on junk food. And due to
food manufacturers and deceptive marketers, even some of your seemingly "healthy" meals are filled with unhealthy fats, artificial ingredients, and
unnecessary preservatives that are hazardous to your health, too.

On a mission to help you understand exactly what exactly is in your food, and why it's bad, we put together this list of the least nutritious foods on the
planet that are so toxic, they just wreck your body. While you're at it, you're going to want to get rid of any of the 108 Most Popular Sodas We Ranked By

1. Coffee Creamer
Unhealthy Ingredients: Soybean and canola oil

The problem with coffee creamer? There's no cream! The first three ingredients listed on Nestle's Coffee-Mate's popular creamers, for example, are water,
sugar, and soybean and/or canola oil. Is that what you want to add to your morning cup of joe? Coffee creamers can also have synthetic additives like mono
and diglycerides. Califa Farms has tons of varieties, and these creamers have fewer calories and sugar than the typical Coffee-Mate Creamers. And if you're

2. Bleached White Flour Bread


Unhealthy Ingredient: Bleaching chemicals such as azodicarbonamide
Even if your bread's first ingredient is "wheat flour"—keep reading. If it doesn't mention that it's
unbleached, you're likely noshing on a sandwich laced with creepy chemicals. Some
manufacturers use an ingredient called azodicarbonamide, which you might recall is the "yoga
mat" additive that Subway once controversially used. This plastic dough conditioner is used to
make bread dough fluffier. The CSPI agrees you should avoid it, citing evidence that the
chemicals azodicarbonamide break down into after baking are recognized carcinogens.  There
are plenty of whole-grain and whole-wheat flours and breads that don't include bleaching
chemicals. Not only that, but they are better for you in a variety of other ways, too. Go with one
