10 Health Foods You Should Never Eat [Infographic]

10 Health Foods You Should Never Eat - Infographic from Dr. Josh Axe

Which foods to eat for health and weight loss? Which foods to avoid and never eat?

There are as many recommendations as there are health and wellness "experts".

Even among medical doctors and registered dietitians and certified nutritionists, i.e., people with top credentials, opinions as to what should be included and excluded in a healthy diet vary - oftentimes significantly.

There are, however, a few foods and beverages that most integrative and holistic health professionals agree on as being particularly unhealthy primarily because of the way they are grown, raised, processed or prepared for consumption.

Modern,  large-scale farming includes growing GMO crops and the use of copious amounts of antibiotics, hormones, pesticides and other chemicals, additives and preservatives that are known or suspected to be toxic.

Modern food processing techniques and practices often denature food. Foodt hat starts out being healthy ends up stripped of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients.

The foods to avoid and why are briefly illustrated and explained in this infographic entitled "10 Health Foods You Should Never Eat" from Dr. Josh Axe.  We recommend reading Dr. Axe's article for more information and details about why each of these foods should be excluded from a healthy diet.

Infographic: 10 Foods You Should Never Eat Again

This infographic depicts 10 foods that a person should never eat if they are concerned about their health.  The 10 foods that made this list are:

1.    White bread, refined flours
2.    Most conventional protein, energy bars
3.    White rice
4.    Conventional frozen meals
5.    Microwaveable popcorn
6.    "Diet" anything
7.    Cured meat products containing nitrates (nitrites)
8.    GMO foods
9.    Soy milk and soy-based meat substitutes
10.  Margarine

White bread is but one type of food made from refined flour.  Many other foods made from refined flour belong on the list including cakes, pastries, doughnuts, cookies, crackers, muffins, croissants and pasta.

I wonder if "most conventional protein" includes red meat, poultry and dairy products originating from animals raised on big factory farms?  I would think so!

Soy milk and soy-based meat substitutes (such as tofu) is actually a widely used plant-based protein source, so long it is organic and not genetically modified.

Curiously, sugar did not make the list!
