Hi everybody, my name is Alisha.
Welcome back to Top Words.
Today we’re going to be talking about 10
foods that will kill you faster. Oh!!
bacon
bacon is delicious, it’s usually thin or maybe slightly thicker
strips of pork meat that you typically
fry, or you can bake. Salt and fat.
I eat bacon maybe once a month these days.
candy
sweets, all the manufactured sugary sweet stuff. All of
it is called candy. Candy is not good for
you because it’s just sugar; sugar and
food coloring and spice, fructose, corn
syrup. In a sentence, I try not to eat any
candy but every once in a while I give in.
energy drinks
popular energy drinks are, let’s see, Monster, Red Bull…
Energy drinks are bad because of the caffeine, for one.
Large amounts of caffeine, large amounts
of sugar, often food coloring, and so on.
Try to limit your consumption of energy
drinks, too much can be very damaging to your health.
frozen meals
It’s an entire meal in a package and you can just put
it in your oven, or put it in your
microwave, heat it up, and your dinner or
lunch or whatever is ready.
Those frozen meals have a ton of salt,
many many frozen meals use preservatives
to keep whatever is in
the package from going bad, from becoming
rotten. In a sentence, I don’t like eating
frozen meals, i just don’t think they
taste good.
instant noodles
Cup ramen is a very very popular
brand of instant noodles,
all you need to do is pour hot water
over the dried noodles, and there’s
usually some kind of flavor pack, they’re
very very cheap and it’s filling. So in a
sentence, when I was in college I ate
instant noodles every day, and I felt terrible.
That’s not true.
margarine
The next word on this list is margarine.
Margarine is very very similar to butter,
it’s used as a spread, a partially hydrogenated
oil content of margarine is much higher
than butter. If memory serves me
correctly, this actually builds up in the
body, your body just can’t break it down,
like, if you consume too much of this, it
just hangs out in your body. In a
sentence, in my family we use margarine
every day when I was growing up.
microwave popcorn
Microwave popcorn is popcorn that comes
in a flat bag you just put it in the
microwave and turn it on, and it pop pop pop,
and you have microwave popcorn usually
butter-flavored, maybe salt flavored,
whatever, it’s delicious. And you can eat
it while you watch a movie,
great fun. This is bad for you because
there’s butter and salt and oils on the
inside of that bag and it has to be kept
preserved, so there’s a lot of salt
content, there are also preservatives in
that, but all of those things are not so
good for you.
Let’s get some microwave popcorn at the
supermarket for our movie later.
potato chips
I love potato chips i’m a chip junkie, I love potato
chips, but they are terrible for you.
Carbs themselves are not bad,
we need carbohydrates, of course, but
potato chips are just empty, meaning they
are nothing but carbohydrates, also
potato chips are fried, which is so
that’s oil.
There’s also salt with potato chips,
there might also be flavorings added to
potato chips, salt and vinegar,
I think, or sour cream and onion chips,
there’re barbecue chips, all these different
flavorings are not natural, and you’re
eating them.
I love potato chips even though i know
they’re terrible for you.
processed meat
For example hotdogs, sandwich lunch meat, a
lot of the meats that you see in the
supermarket in a package, maybe it’s
shaped in a circle, or a hot dog, for
example, wrapped in plastic like that.
It’s a combination of all of the
leftover parts of an animal, ground
together and then put into a tube or
some other shape. Of course processed
meat is often very convenient if you’re
busy or sometimes you just have a
craving for a hot dog, it’s easy to buy,
easy to cook easy, easy to use. In a sentence,
I try not to buy processed meat
because when I eat it I feel bad.
soda
Soda also contains food
coloring, sugar, high fructose, corn syrup,
things which are quite famous for
breaking down teeth, so drinking a lot of
soda can have a very very negative
impact on your body as a whole, on your
digestive system as a whole. And it can
affect your skin, many people have sugar
sensitive skin, so if someone who drinks
a lot of soda, for some people, they may
have a lot of acne, as a result of their
sugar intake. So that’s the end of 10
foods that may kill you faster.
Oh no! Some some of my favorite foods
like bacon were on that list, and potato
chips.
