There is a wide variety of food available today. Unfortunately, modern food manufacturing and production makes some of that food unhealthy.
The following foods / food ingredients have an overwhelming preponderance of evidence showing that they are bad for you. These ingredients have been shown to cause cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or other diseases.
white flour
white rice
sugar (in all forms... cane, beet, corn, etc.)
salt (2000 mg sodium max per day)
animal fat (cows, pigs, chickens, etc. all contain saturated fat and cholesterol) also including
dairy products (milk, eggs)
Other than that, you should prefer organic food and minimally processed food.
All food additives should be suspect.
Note that it took 30 years to ban trans fats. Now food companies have come up with an alternative called interesterified fats (IE fats). I predict in another 30 years they, too, will be found to be bad for you. Avoid them now. Check your ingredient labels.
