5 favorite foods you should limit

Popcorn, fruit juice, yogurt… are favorite foods for many people, but they can have negative effects on health.

Popcorn.This snack is a popular choice for many people. Some even believe that eating popcorn is much healthier than potato chips or other snacks.

However, popcorn isn't as healthy as you might think. Scientists say that the chemical diacetyl is used to make popcorn smell appealing. Besides that, it also contains a relatively high amount of salt and fat.

Fruit juice.Consuming fresh, whole fruit juice is beneficial for health. However, commercially available juices can be preserved for a considerable period.

On the other hand, according to Robert Lustig, author of "Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth About Sugar," a glass of orange juice isn't necessarily better than a glass of soda. The reason is that orange juice can contain up to 25 grams of sugar, while an average glass of soda contains only a few grams.

Yogurt.According to Shape magazine, frozen yogurt is lower in fat than ice cream. However, it contains a fair amount of calories. A 16-ounce cup of frozen yogurt can contain up to 380 calories and 76 grams of sugar.

Furthermore, consuming excessive amounts of yogurt can lead to stomach problems and affect the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach, reducing appetite and disrupting the body's electrolyte balance.

Bread.Scientists have found that acrylamide, present in the crust of toasted bread, may be a cause of tumor growth and rapid metastasis of cancer cells.

Raw seafood sushi.Sushi helps you absorb omega-3s from fish, but it can also make you more susceptible to mercury poisoning. Consuming too much mercury negatively impacts the nervous system and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
