Foods You Should Never Buy

Foods You Should Never Buy Again


We are all guilty of purchases items at the grocery store that we all know we shouldn't buy. It isn't healthy but we still do. There are also some items that we buy and never really realized how bad they are for you and here are a few to think about crossing off your grocery list.

Smoked and Cured Meats



Pass on cured meats in any form. They've been linked to cancer, disease, high blood pressure, and migraines. Plus they're packed with artery clogging grease: regulations allow up to 50% of fresh pork susage to be fat.

Blueberry Items


Blueberries are in everything now, from breakfast cereal to muffins, granola bars, and sauces. Turns out that most of the blueberry-flavored items on grocery store shelves don't have a single blueberry. Just artificial blueberry flavor. Buy your own berries and add them to plain cereal for a real health boost.


Multi-grain bread



Multi- grain bread sounds great but are they? Most of them only have a few grains mixed into regular white bread. Check the ingredient list to make sure whole wheat is the first, and main ingredient in any bread. 

Bottled Tea


Store bought bottle iced teas are all sugar, they can have more sugar than soda or even a slice of pie. To save your sugar level and money, brew your own iced tea at home.

Energy Drinks

Energy drinks are very high in sugar and FDA has received numerous reports linking brands like 5 Hour Energy and Monster Energy to heart attacks, convulsion and even death. In place of an energy drink reach for a cup of coffee for your afternoon boost.

White Rice


Skip the refined grains and go for whole; 17% higher risk of diabetes is associated with eating five or more servings of white rice per week, compared to eating white rice less than once a month.
