Food that are dangerous to your health!

Nine dangerous food you should never eat — including butter flavored popcorn! 

                       Butter flavored popcorn.

There is a chemical in butter flavored microwave popcorn that could put your health in considerable danger. Oh no. Diacetyl, which is present in some butter flavorings, has been so harmful to factory workers, it's even warranted it's own disease classification — "popcorn lung." In short, try just the salted kind.

Canned tomatoes.

There is a type of resin that can be present in tin cans, that contains bisphenol-A / BPA. BPA is a synthetic oestrogen that can cause reproductive problems and heart disease! Put down the tin opener and go pick some fresh ones instead. Or just head to the grocery and get some actual tomatoes with your next shop. 

Artificial sweeteners

 

Rather annoyingly, studies have actually shown that artificial sweeteners can be just as bad for your muffin top as regular refined sugar. Aspartame ca

increase your blood sugar level, leading to overeating. And there have even been rumors that it causes stomach ulcers in high concentrations.

White chocolate. 

We all know about dark chocolate right? Full of amazing goodies, like anti-oxidants. Well, don't be fooled into thinking that white chocolate has any of these lovely qualities. It doesn't. It is literally a weird mix of random things that taste sweet.

Pea shoots and sprouts.

Uh oh. These little things look uber healthy, but pea shoots and sprouts have been the source of an incredible number of food recalls because they are really good at carrying food-borne illnesses.

Swordfish.

You're probably not eating an abundance of swordfish as it is, but it is worth knowing that you should definitely avoid it when pregnant. Swordfish is high in heavy metals that can be harmful to children as they develop in the womb.

 

Food dye.

Food dyes have been linked to cancer in animals, so goodness only knows what they're doing to our insides. The craze for rainbow cakes is more dangerous than we thought!
