Poisonous Or Unhealthy Foods You Are Probably Eating

Macaroni and Cheese

Besides the preservatives added to this heavily processed food, boxed macaroni and cheese contain two dangerous food dyes: Yellow 5 and Yellow 6. Considering this food is often fed to children, the research regarding these additives is incredibly alarming. Although behavioral issues aren't necessarily fatal, they can be extremely detrimental to a child's well-being. These dyes have been linked to quite a few different serious behavioral issues, including hyperactivity and learning disabilities. Since they're petroleum-based, they have also been associated with an increased risk of cancer.

Fat-Free Snacks

Fat-free snacks are known to promote weight gain, typically due to their high sugar content, but that's not all you need to worry about. Fat-free potato chips, for instance, often contain Olean or Olestra and is stated in the media to be one of the top fifty worst inventions. A wide range of side effects has been reported based on the consumption of Olestra, including significant weight gain, intestinal issues, and worst of all, a depletion of fat-soluble vitamins. If your body cannot absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K, you increase your risk of disease. Though it is currently banned in Canada and the United Kingdom, the United States continues to distribute this additive.
