9 Foods You Should Never Attempt to Eat It’s no secret that there are many foods
that have been portrayed as healthy when they actually are bad for you. In this video, you will find foods you should
never eat that, presented by Jared Koch, who is the founder of Clean Plates. The problem with most food is that it is promoted
by companies in such a way that it is convincing to most people. Companies use the words “sugar-free” and
“all-natural” on their labels, but that doesn’t necessarily ensure that the food
is healthy to eat. Before we begin this video, don’t forget

should never eat. 1 Canned Tomatoes: Canned food contains BPA;
which is a toxic chemical that is linked to reproductive abnormalities, increased risk
of breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. The Consumer Report’s testing states that
only a couple of servings of canned food can exceed the safety limit for daily BPA exposure
for children. There are many different health problems associated
with BPA chemicals. These health problems include reproductive
harm, increased risk of mental disabilities in babies, risk of miscarriage, hormonal disruption,
increased risk of certain cancers, and more. BPA is found in most of the plastics we use,
and a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease control even revealed that BPA was
detected in 93% of urine samples tested among 2517 people older than six years old. The reason that canned tomatoes have such
a high risk of BPA contamination as opposed to other canned goods is because of the acidity. Dr. Mercola explains that canned tomatoes
have high acidity, which can cause BPA to stick onto your food. If you want to preserve tomatoes but don't
want to risk consuming BPA, use fresh tomatoes, grow your own tomatoes, or purchase organic
tomatoes. 2 Processed Meat: According to a 2011 review
of more than 7,000 clinical studies that examined the connection between diet and cancer, processed
meats are not healthy and everyone should avoid eating them. This report was commissioned by The World
Cancer Research Fund. Koch adds that processed meats are typically
made with meats from animals that are raised in animal feeding farms. This means that they are fed growth hormones
and other drugs. He adds that the meats also contain nitrite,
which adds color and flavor to the food. Nitrite has the potential to be converted
into nitrosamines in the body; which are strong cancer-causing chemicals. Believe it or not, processed meat has been
linked to heart disease and can contain many different harmful chemicals. If you're wondering what exactly is considered
processed meat, you may be a little surprised! Processed meat includes meat like bacon, ham,
beef jerky, canned meat, sausages, hot dogs, corned beef, salted and cured meat, and more. Processed meat is also known to be linked
to various different types of chronic diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD), bowel and stomach cancer, and high blood pressure. Although you are not likely to develop these
diseases, you should still limit the amount of processed meats you eat because people
who eat processed meat are more at risk for developing these types of diseases. Do you eat any of the things mentioned in
this video so far? Keep watching for some even more surprising
foods that you should never attempt to it. 3 Margarine: Margarine contains trans-fat,
which according to Dr. Mercola, is an unnatural fat. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines states that Americans
should consume as little trans-fat as possible. Why? Well according to researchers at the Harvard
School of Public Health, they estimate that trans fat causes between 72,000 to 228,000
heart attacks, which includes almost 50,000 fatal ones, per year. The easiest solution to this is to buy butter
that is made from grass-eating cows. This type of butter will contain a substance
called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). This type of butter also contains saturated
fat, which many people believe to be harmful but is actually beneficial for your body. 4 Vegetable Oil: Mercola states that vegetable
oil is highly processed. Mercola adds that when heated, vegetable oil
can cause damage by converting good cholesterol into bad cholesterol by oxidizing it. When the oil is heated and mixed with oxygen,
it becomes rancid. This is a chemical that should never be consumed
because it can lead to vascular disease. According to WebMD, some vegetable oils can
also contain trans fats, which you now know is quite harmful to the body. Vegetable oil also contributes to inflammation
in the body, and is also loaded with trans fats which can be highly toxic. Trans fats can increase the risk of developing
various diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and even obesity. 5 Microwaved Popcorn: Microwaved popcorn contains
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). Both these chemicals show up as contaminants
in blood, and when heated up, leach onto the popcorn. These chemicals have several health dangers. The first danger is infertility. According to a study that is published in
the journal Human Reproduction, researchers found that PFOA and PFOS increased the odds
of infertility. In fact, PFOA was linked to a 60 to 150 percent
increase. Another danger is increased LDL cholesterol
levels. A 2010 study found in the Archives of Pediatric
& Adolescent Medicine states that teens that have higher PFOA levels had higher levels
of LDL cholesterol and PFOS was associated with a higher overall cholesterol level. The FDA also states that the chemical coating
which is used in microwave popcorn bags can break (PFOA) is identified by the environmental
protection agency as a "likely carcinogen". Other studies state that an acid that is found
in this chemical can possibly cause cancer in animals, making it likely that it may increase
the risk of cancer in humans. 6 Non-Organic Potatoes: If you are looking
for healthy fruits and vegetables, buy organic. Under the USDA organic rules, synthetic agricultural
chemicals are not permitted in them. With that said though, not all conventionally
grown fruits and vegetables have the same pesticide load. In 2013, 48 fruits and vegetables were tested
by the Environment Working Group. Potatoes were among those that had the highest
pesticide load. 7 Table Salt: Our bodies need salt in order
to live. But the table salt that is found in processed
foods is not the same as the salt that our bodies need, says Mercola. Mercola adds that processed salt is 98 percent
sodium chloride and the other two percent is man-made chemicals such as moisture and
added iodine, which is as harmful to the body, like ferrocyanide and aluminosilicate, which
can also be found in processed salt. Salt also affects water retention, making
your body hold on to water and causing bloating. And too much salt can also give you cravings
for even more salty, greasy foods. This can lead to overeating, which can lead
to weight gain and an unhealthy lifestyle. It is best to limit the amount of salt in
your diet to minimize the risk of any of these health issues. 8 Soy Protein Isolate: Mercola explains that
the number one problem with soybeans is that 90-95 percent of them that are grown in the
US are genetically engineered so they can create soy protein isolate. They are grown to withstand other lethal doses
of herbicide. With that said, Mercola adds that the only
soy with health benefits is organic soy. Organic soy is properly fermented and is the
only soy products that are recommended. Mercola explains that the fermentation process
reduces the phytate and anti-nutrient levels. 9 Artificial Sweeteners: According to a report
found in Appetite, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame have the ability to stimulate
your appetite, stimulate fat storage and weight gain and increase carbohydrate cravings. The report also proved that aspartame and
saccharin were found to cause more weight gain than sugar. In addition to weight gain, a study published
in Nature, which is an international journal of science, found that artificial sweeteners
induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiota which can cause diabetes. The fact of the matter is, there are all sorts
of things in this world that can present a danger to our health, including lots of different
foods. From processed meats to artificial sweeteners,
you never know what can increase your chance of disease or other health issues. This is why it is extremely important to eat
a nutrient rich diet and try to limit the amount of unhealthy foods in your diet. Although it is not recommended to cut out
junk food completely from your diet, it is important to remember that these types of
foods should be eaten in moderation. A nutrient rich diet accompanied by a healthy
lifestyle which includes exercise a few times a week can lead you to a healthy life and
also minimize your risk of developing health problems while improving your overall physical
and mental well being. You don’t have to cut out all your favorite
foods, but just be mindful of what you are eating, how often you are eating it, and what
other kinds of healthy foods you are incorporating into your diet. What are some other foods that you know aren’t
