Junk Food

"Junk Food"

Fruit drinks. Not to be confused with fruit juices,
fruit drinks are 10 per cent or less real fruit sugar.
They're loaded with artificial coloring and sucrose.
Definitely teeth rotters.

White bread. Yes, this is a junk food. Every time
you're looking at a slice of white bread you are
seeing a slice of sugar -- it acts in the body the
same way.

Doughnut. It's white bread dipped and deep-fried
and sugar. What can be worse? No wonder there's
a big hole in the middle, it's a nutritional zero.

Decaffeinated coffee. An excellent way to remove
the caffeine and add chemical solvent residue
right into your favorite beverage.

Pop. Let's see now, how do you spell increased
bone breakage? P-O-P.

Diet pop. You get all the dandy benefits of pop,
plus artificial sweetener, which has been shown
in studies to actually increase your sugar cravings
and alter your brain chemistry.

Sugary breakfast cereals. Now here's a guarantee:
If you want to start your day in a low life-force mode,
then this is the junk breakfast for you.

Deep-dish pizza. This is an excellent way to stack,
jack and pack your G.I. tract with one big dollop of
sodium, dough and fat -- an overnight weight-gain
wonder.

Ice cream. Here's a beauty, high in sugar and high
in fat, for another whack attack on your pancreas
and your arteries.

French fries and potato chips. Here's why: Yes, it's
unparalleled sodium-loading enzyme-dead food. But
new information now shows that it's high in acrylimide,
a known cancer-causing agent. In fact, the amount of
acyrlimide in a serving of fast-food French fries is 300
times above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
limit set for one glass of water.

Now, every behavior carries with it it's own consequences.
It's no different with nutrition. Reality or fantasy, take your
pick. Choose wisely.
