The top ten most unhealthy foods in your supermarket

source: http://current.com/groups/organicgreen/

Margarine;
Breakfast cereals;
Refined Vegetable Oils;
Doughnuts;
Soft Drinks;
Aspartame;
Soy Protein;
Potato Crisps;
Fructose and Sucrose;
Fat Free and Diet Foods.



At the link you can read all about them, very informative.

I will highlight Soy protein as it is a very tricky food for Vegetarians, vegans and people that love proteins.
Excerpt:
"Textured vegetable protein (TVP)found in vegetarian "Not Meat" products and Soy protein isolate found in most processed foods.
No matter what side of the fence you sit on the great soy debate, TVP or textured vegetable protein made from de-fatted soy flour is so processed that it hardly qualifies to be called a food anymore.
It is a highly processed and unhealthy food, it is NOT a health food."


It is GMO, it absorbs aluminum and becomes carcinogen from the processing method.
Organic soy only solves part of the problem, it still remains very unhealthy.
I am glad the author mentioned High fructose corn syrup which I despise and is number one public enemy.
Also I want to emphasize the notion that diet food does not mean "diet" means "unhealthier".
