Eat this Not That published a list of the most harmful foods due to their ingredients, which included daily foods in our lives, most notably white bread, which is made of chemically bleached flour, because it contains bleaching chemicals such as azodicarbonamide, and it is used to make bread dough thinly, as experts pointed out. There is evidence that azodicarbonamide degrades into a chemical called urethane during the baking process, and this chemical is considered a carcinogen, AKA a substance that can lead to cancer.
According to Al-Arabiya.net, the list included fruit juice with unhealthy added sugar, as it contains added sugars, fruits without fiber, and high-fructose corn syrup.
In addition, diet soft drinks are also considered unhealthy, because they contain aspartame, which is an artificial sweetener that was initially developed to help lose weight, but was finally found to have the opposite effect.
Its side effects include raising glucose levels, burdening the liver, and causing the excess to be converted to fat, according to a study in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism.
Studies have also found that aspartame is associated with an increased risk of cancer.
In the same context, processed meats, including bacon and sausage, are completely unhealthy foods.
For example, they are usually made from red meat, which is high in saturated fat.
