7 Foods to NEVER Eat Again

DR. ERIC BERG
About this episode

These foods are promoted as healthy, but after watching this, you’ll never eat them again! Find out about the 7 foods you should never eat.


1. Granola bars

Nature Valley granola bars contain bioengineered food ingredients, which means they’re GMO. GMO foods contain glyphosate, an herbicide linked to cancer. Granola bars also contain sugar (probably beet sugar), seed oils, and refined starches. One Nature Valley granola bar serving contains almost 7 teaspoons of sugar!


2. Agave syrup

This sweetener is often considered diabetic or keto-friendly because it’s low on the glycemic index. Agave is 85% fructose, which the liver must process. The liver treats fructose the same way as alcohol—like a toxin!


3. Flavored yogurt

You probably wouldn’t consider flavored yogurt as junk food because it’s marketed as a healthy, convenient probiotic rich in calcium and protein. At 30 grams of sugar per serving, most flavored yogurts have more sugar than a candy bar! Many probiotics in flavored yogurt won't even survive your stomach acid.


Look for whole-fat yogurt, Bulgarian yogurt, or Greek yogurt without the added sugar. Kefir is an even better option and has significantly more friendly bacteria.


4. Non-dairy creamers

Non-dairy creamers are often considered a healthy alternative to milk but contain unhealthy ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, maltodextrin, and trans fats. Check the ingredients to ensure they don’t contain soy, corn, canola, or cottonseed oil. It’s best to just use regular cream or half-and-half.


5. Soy milk

Soy products like soy milk can cause estrogenic effects like the development of breast tissue in men. Soy milk is not really milk at all!


6. Fast-food lettuce

Dressings on fast-food salads contain seed oils, trans fats, hidden starches, and high fructose corn syrup. Fast-food lettuce is coated in a preservative called sodium bisulfite and rinsed in a chlorine wash.


7. Puffed cereals/rice cakes

A chemist who worked for Quaker studied rats and noticed they would die after being fed puffed cereal.
