Foods and Additives to Avoid at all Costs

High-fructose corn syrup. This may have more harmful effects on your health than regular sugar. Some high-fructose corn syrup contains mercury as a byproduct of the manufacturing process.

Trans Fats. These are vegetable oils converted through a chemical process into margarine. These fats have been proven to cause heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. 

Processed food, food additives, preservatives, and artificial sweeteners.
