As the saying goes, “Delicious food makes you fat, and food that doesn’t make you fat is not delicious…” Many seemingly delicious foods that are irresistible not only make people gain weight but also pose a great risk to health! Today, let’s list some of the foods blacklisted by the World Health Organization.
First Place: Fried Foods
Representatives: Fritters, fried pancakes, potato chips, hamburgers, fried chicken, etc.
Starch foods produce acrylamide when fried at high temperatures, which is a carcinogenic substance.
Fried foods are extremely high in calories and fats, and consuming them regularly can lead to obesity, diabetes, high blood lipids, coronary heart disease, and other illnesses.
Second Place: Puffed Foods
Representatives: Potato chips, prawn crackers, instant noodles, etc.
These foods often have high salt content for seasoning, leading to cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and increased burden on the kidneys. They are fried in oil, and the fats turn into “oxidized lipids” after oxidation, accumulating in blood vessels or other organs, accelerating aging, and increasing the risk of cerebral hemorrhage, heart disease, etc.
Third Place: Pickled Foods
Representatives: Pickled vegetables, kimchi, salty beans, pickled radish, etc.
A large amount of salt used in the pickling process can lead to excessive sodium intake, causing kidney burden, leading to hypertension risks. It also generates a significant amount of carcinogenic substances – nitrosamines, increasing the risk of diseases like nasopharyngeal cancer, damaging the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing gastritis, and ulcers.
Fourth Place: Processed Meats
Representatives: Preserved meat, sausages, shredded meat, canned meat, etc.
Processed meats contain a certain amount of nitrite, posing a cancer risk due to the addition of preservatives, colorants, and fixatives, which are difficult for the body to metabolize and increase the burden on the liver.
Fifth Place: Grilled Foods
Representatives: Various skewers, grilled fish, grilled vegetables, etc.
These foods increase the burden on the kidneys and liver. Some vendors use uninspected meats for barbecue, often containing parasites that are difficult to kill in a short time.
To all those trying to lose fat, don’t step on landmines, stay away from easily fattening foods!
