10 Foods That Might Ruin Your Health

Pastries and Cookies

Most cakes, cookies, and pastries can be unhealthy when you eat them too much. Especially, packaged products tend to be made with refined sugar, added fats, as well as refined wheat flour. In some cases, manufacturers even add shortening, which can be rich in unhealthy trans fats. While these foods can be delicious, they almost contain no essential nutrients and high in preservatives and calories. Alternative desserts to eat include dark chocolate, fresh fruit, or Greek yogurt. [7]
