There are a lot of food items that we think are just pretty healthy or safe. However, if you take a closer look, you will realize that you are actually eating a lot of dangerous foods you are not supposed to.
Consumers cannot really be entirely blamed considering that all the advertising and labelling can cause confusion.

So, to help you out, here is a list of some of the dangerous foods you should avoid or not eat at all.

We sometimes think that simply because they are fruit flavored, they are already safe. However, you need to know that they can just be as unhealthy as soda. It is dangerous because of its high fructose concentration which is processed in the liver and converted to fat.

2. Farmed fishes

Simply because they are fishes, we think that they are healthy. However, not all fishes are good for the body. Eating farmed fishes like Tilapia is worse than eating bacon. A study has also found that farm fishes carry diseases and parasites that even chemicals cannot kill.

3. Pancake from pancake mix

What is a better way to start your mornings than eating pancakes? 
We all love pancakes and one of the easiest ways to prepare them is by cooking the instant one from the box we purchase from the groceries. But even if you think that it is harmless, it actually contains trans-fat, as well as a lot of preservatives and salt. All these ingredients can cause your arteries to clog.
