The following 8 foods are very common, but really unhealthy, it is recommended that everyone try to eat less or not eat.
1. French fries
Potatoes contain both a lot of carbohydrates and a lot of aspartic acid, which is an amino acid that is very easy to produce acrylamide, so there will be more acrylamide in French fries fried at high temperatures
In addition, potatoes themselves can absorb oil, frying this cooking method reduces the water content of food, fries absorb a lot of fat, it is easy to make people fat, and there will be trans fatty acids and glycosylation end products, inducing inflammation.

It is recommended to eat as little as possible.
2. Fried chicken skin
Chicken is really a treasure, whether it is chicken legs, chicken wings or chicken breast, it is almost carb-free, the fat content is also very low, chicken is also rich in phosphorus, potassium and other minerals and B vitamins, but also a good source of antioxidant selenium.
So eating some fried chicken thighs and fried chicken tenders is still "excusable", after all, you can consume protein, but fried chicken skin is really a fat + calorie bomb, and the nutrient density is also very low. Delicious but really not recommended.
3. Spicy strips
The main raw materials of spicy strips are flour, vegetable oil (may also use soy protein), spices, salt, sugar, and some may also add pigments, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives and so on. Sodium and fat are extremely high and the nutritional value is low. There is also a black workshop that illegally produces preservatives in order to make spicy strips not corrupt, and preservatives may also put a lot of risks. It is really not recommended to eat.
4. Hairy cockles
During the 1988 hepatitis A pandemic in Shanghai, the main route of transmission was raw eating cockles, and the number of reported cases in two months was close to 300,000.
At that time, the infection was mainly because the cockle as a filter feeding animal, it is easy to enrich some pathogenic bacteria in the environment, in addition to hepatitis A, such as Vibrio vulnificus, it is simply like a vacuum cleaner in the sea, everyone must be careful to heat it well.
5. Frappuccino/Mocha
There is too much sugar and cream in Frappuccino, compared to the general American or latte, the calories of Frappuccino can be more than ten times higher, in fact, many flavored coffees may be added with cream and syrup, which can easily lead to excessive intake.
So I usually drink ice American style with very low calories every day! ~
Taking a well-known coffee brand as an example, the calories, carbs, fat, and caffeine data of coffee drinks (medium cups) provided on their official website are as follows (products may differ in different regions, for reference only):
6. Wine
When buying alcoholic beverages, you usually don't see calories. But this does not mean that the wine has no calories, in addition to the white sugar, juice and other ingredients with calories inside, alcohol itself will also make you fat. 1 gram of ethanol provides 7 Kcal of energy, second only to fat [1].
Alcohol also inhibits fat oxidation, increases fat synthesis, and is conducive to fat accumulation in the body, especially fat accumulation in the liver, inducing alcoholic fatty liver [2-4].
Finally, alcohol is also more conducive to long belly, people who drink alcohol, fat will preferentially accumulate in the abdomen [3], and abdominal obesity is also more harmful to health.
7. Ice cream
If ice cream uses milk as the main ingredient, then its nutrition is indeed better. But at the same time, most ice cream is also added with a lot of sugar, and the fat content of the finished product is also very high.
The key is that in addition to people who can't eat, are very thin, and are very nutritious, most people eat ice cream not for nutrition, but for enjoyment, eating too much will only bring obesity. In addition, from the perspective of limiting saturated fat, it is better to eat less ice cream and other processed foods with solid oils visible at room temperature...

8. Sugar and oil cake
In order to save fuel when making sugar oil cakes, a pot of oil continues to fry wave after wave, frying to the end, the oil may be maintained at a high temperature for tens of minutes or even hours, and the content of trans fatty acids and peroxides in it is increasing.
Heated to 170 °C with sunflower oil and fried for 8 minutes (but not the practice of sugar oil cake), the trans fatty acid content reaches 6.17g/kg, and if the temperature is raised to 190°C, it is 8.54g/kg, that is, a 250g oil cake will exceed the one-day limit. This is still freshly opened oil, and the oil that has been fried many times is even worse.
In addition, sugar oil cake sugar oil cake, in order to make the oil cake have taste, sugar is indispensable, Maillard reaction is also serious, it is really not recommended to eat.
The above 8, do you often eat?
I've ordered 6 in the past week...
