5 Nutrition ‘Worsts’: #1 The Worst Food by Joan Kent, PhD

Yes, it’s a Ranking List; they’re trending. For the next several days, I’ll be posting a compilation of worsts in several nutrition categories.

Today’s is the Worst Food.

If you’ve read my books, or if you read my articles regularly, you’re probably expecting me to list sugar here. And let’s face it, that would be a solid and logical choice.

But the consensus seems to go in the direction of processed meats — hot dogs, salami, bologna, even turkey.

Processed meats contain chemical preservatives, including nitrates and other preservatives used for smoking and curing. These preservatives increase colon cancer risk and much more.

Processed meats contain few nutrients and very little fiber, but are high in sodium, fat, and cholesterol. They may also contain a food dye called Orange B that’s bad for the liver and the bile duct.

Innocent-seeming turkey contains arsenic, which is toxic and carcinogenic.

So avoid processed meats whenever possible.
