These are some unhealthy foods most people think are healthy
1.Fruit juice
Stripping fruits of their skin, connective membranes, and seeds, juicing also removes the fiber that helps slow absorption of the naturally-occurring sugars in whole fruit. This leads to insulin spikes, which can eventually lead to Type 2 diabetes.
Adding to which, fruit juice can be high in calories. This leads to overeating, which can contribute to weight gain. So, it's important to emphasize vegetables in your juice blends. This helps limit the calories and sugar in the juice.
2.Soy protien
The downside of heavy soy consumption is possible mineral deficiencies. Soy products are very high in phytic acid, which can interfere with mineral absorption…. Whereas soaking and sprouting other grains and legumes can remove the phytic acid, that does not work with soy, and the only way to neutralize the phytic acid in soy is to ferment it.
3.Farmed salmon
To keep up with the demand, salmon farmers devise many ways to raise the fish, including feeding them poor-grade fish food and keeping them in confined spaces. The result has been fish loaded with omega-6 fatty acids, which increase inflammation, blood clotting, and cell proliferation, as opposed to the desired omega-3s, which do the opposite. A half-fillet of wild-caught salmon has an estimated 341 milligrams of omega-6, while farm-raised ones contain a whopping 1,944 milligrams. If that isn't bad enough, farmed salmon is often dyed pink to look healthier and has thus tested to be higher in PCBs, a cancer-causing industrial chemical.
4.Sushi
Sushi used to be a hard sell for people. Sushi can be satisfying, fresh, and very healthy … seemingly. Remember, sushi's made mostly of rice and very little fresh fish or vegetables, making it a carbohydrate explosion. A normal roll is like eating four slices of bread, and the spicy tuna roll is like adding another three slices, with lots of mayonnaise to boot. Another issue with the rice is that it's almost never organic. Like many grains, it carries unwanted chemicals, including arsenic. Add the fish, which can be farmed, endangered, and seeped in mercury, and rice-heavy sushi is basically no healthy.
5.Fat-free yogurt
Fat-free foods are NOT health foods, fat doesn't make you fat, sugar makes you fat. Most flavored yogurts pack 15 grams of sugar in 6 oz.,
