Summary

These foods are promoted as healthy, but after watching this, you’ll never eat them again! Find out about the 7 foods you should never eat.

1. Granola bars

Nature Valley granola bars contain bioengineered food ingredients, which means they’re GMO. GMO foods contain glyphosate, an herbicide linked to cancer. Granola bars also contain sugar (probably beet sugar), seed oils, and refined starches. One Nature Valley granola bar serving contains almost 7 teaspoons of sugar!

2. Agave syrup

This sweetener is often considered diabetic or keto-friendly because it’s low on the glycemic index. Agave is 85% fructose, which the liver must process. The liver treats fructose the same way as alcohol—like a toxin!

3. Flavored yogurt

You probably wouldn’t consider flavored yogurt as junk food because it’s marketed as a healthy, convenient probiotic rich in calcium and protein. At 30 grams of sugar per serving, most flavored yogurts have more sugar than a candy bar! Many probiotics in flavored yogurt won't even survive your stomach acid.

Look for whole-fat yogurt, Bulgarian yogurt, or Greek yogurt without the added sugar. Kefir is an even better option and has significantly more friendly bacteria.

4. Non-dairy creamers

Non-dairy creamers are often considered a healthy alternative to milk but contain unhealthy ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, and trans fats. Check the ingredients to ensure they don’t contain soy, corn, canola, or cottonseed oil. It’s best to just use regular cream or half-and-half.

5. Soy milk

Soy products like soy milk can cause estrogenic effects like the development of breast tissue in men. Soy milk is not really milk at all!

6. Fast-food lettuce

Dressings on fast-food salads contain seed oils, trans fats, hidden starches, and high fructose corn syrup. Fast-food lettuce is coated in a preservative called sodium bisulfite and rinsed in a chlorine wash.

7. Puffed cereals/rice cakes

A chemist who worked for Quaker studied rats and noticed they would die after being fed puffed cereal.

0:00.0	Let's talk about the seven foods that you must never ever eat again.
0:04.0	These foods are promoted as healthy foods, but in reality, behind the scenes,
0:08.4	they are not healthy at all.
0:09.8	In fact, they're going to make you sick.
0:11.3	So we're going to go through all seven and number seven
0:14.0	is very interesting because I tested this food in my basement on rats. So you definitely
0:19.7	want to stay until the end to hear about what happened. Let's start with number one.
0:22.4	Granola bars, right? Nature Valley sounds wonderful. Is it really healthy? They promote
0:29.2	using whole grains with just a touch of honey. So let's take a look at the actual ingredients.
0:34.0	Now, I always like to ignore the nutritional facts
0:38.0	because it doesn't really tell you much about what the ingredients are.
0:42.0	So let's look just at the ingredients. It says
0:43.5	Whole grain notes. Okay so this doesn't tell us if it's organic or conventional. But if
0:50.2	we scroll all the way down it says contains bio-engineered food ingredients.
0:55.8	Now what does that mean?
0:56.8	It means that they have GMO ingredients, which they're going to have levels of glyphosate.
1:01.7	That's an herbicide. And General Mills, who owns this company,
1:05.2	drop the 100% natural because they got sued. The problem is it contained a chemical
1:10.5	called glyphosate, like I just mentioned, a a weed killer which is linked to cancer.
1:15.2	Now you have to realize that glyphosate is the main ingredient in Roundup Ready.
1:18.9	This is a popular herbicide which by the way they were ordered to pay $300 million to a man with terminal cancer
1:25.9	after being exposed to that herbicide. So the first thing to know is the whole grain oats are not
