1.   Quaker 100% Natural Oats & Honey Granola
      A half cup of these is coated with three teaspoons of sugar and laden with more artery clogging fat than you'd   get in a McDonald's hamburger. Better choices are, Grape Nuts, Wheaties, Kellogg's All-Bran, Post 100% Bran,shredded wheat, or oatmeal.

2.   Bugles
      These are fried in highly saturated coconut oil. This is about twice as saturated as lard. One serving (just over a cup) gives you 40% of your daily limit of saturated fat. Baked Bugles or tortilla chips are a much better choice.

3.   Buitoni Contadina Alfredo Sauce
      Does a third of a stick of butter sound good for you? That is how much is in this sauce.Try Classico Spicy Red Pepper, Tomato & Basil, Fire Roasted Tomato & Garlic, or any sauces from Healthy Choice or Ragu Light. Your arteries will thank you.

4.   Pizza Hut's Big New Yorker Pizza
      Is bigger really better? NO! Two slices of this pizza gives you almost a full day's saturated fat (17grams) and sodium(2.200mg), and 790 calories. And that's without sausage, pepperoni, or anything else. An entire Healthy Choice Supreme French Bread Pizza will only get you 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 580 mg of sodium and 330 calories.

5.   Entenmann's Rich Frosted Donut (Variety pack size)
      Is it possible than such a yummy snack can have as much artery clogging saturated and trans fat (10grams) as nine strips of bacon? It sure is! The Entenmann's Light Donuts are a better choice, with anywhere from six to nine grams of fat per donut. Though certainly not a healthy food, they are better than the regular ones.

6.   Nissin Cup Noodles with Shrimp
      These are pre-fried in  palm oil, and will clog your arteries up the same as one and a half cups of whole milk. Fantastic Foods Chicken Free Ramen Noodles are a better pick in this department.

7. Burger King French Fries
This franchise makes some of the worst french fries you can buy at a fast food restaurant.They are even worse than McDonald's Super Size Fries. The salty coating allows more oil to be absorbed. A king size order of BK fries packs a punch with 590 calories and 30 grams of fat,12 of them artery clogging.

8.   Campbell's red and white label condensed soups
Nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a cold day? True, but these have 1,100mg of sodium, about half the ideal quota for one day. Healthy Choice and Campbell's Healthy Request have less than half as much sodium without sacrificing any taste.

9.   Frito Lay's Wow! Potato Chips
      These are fried in Olean, the indigestible fat substitute. It doesn't provide any calories, but many have suffered such severe cramps or diarrhea that they had to go to the emergency room! It also prevents the body's absorption of carotenoids.Again, try baked potato or tortilla chips.

10.  Denny's Grand Slam
       2 eggs, 2 sausage links, 2 strips of bacon, and 2 pancakes. Sounds delicious right? Well, just listen to this. It contains three quarters of a day's total fat (50 grams) and saturated fat (14 grams), nearly a full day's sodium (2,240mg) and one and a half day's cholesterol (460mg). In contrast, the Denny's Slim Slam slashes the calories to 600, the fat to 12 grams, the saturated fat to 3 grams, and the cholesterol to a mere 35 mg.


Does any of this make you want to change your eating habits? Will you pay closer attention to just what the food you eat contains?

Studies suggest that monounsaturated fats and vegetable fats can actually raise good cholesterol and keep your arteries clean... despite your doctor telling you that exercise is the only way to raise it... and bacon, coming from a living source, contains no trans fat...

I gotta know tonight
If you're alone tonight
Can't stop this feeling
Can't stop this fire

I get hysterical, hysteria
Oh can you feel it
Do you believe it
It's such a magical mysteria
When you get that feelin'
Better start believin'
Cause it's a miracle,
Oh say you will, ooh babe
Hysteria when you're near

Interesting i had never paid attention to the Oats and Honey Granola.

It should also be noted the "cup o noodles" applies to all the similar products, ramyen noodles as well.

Any of those convenience store packaged donuts are bad for you.

You should include one item often purchased in convenience stores and gas station markets the microwaveable burritos. Two of those small burritos give you a day and a half worth of your saturated fat overdose. One of em is 89% of daily dose.

I think it's apalling that we live in a society that uses every marketing tool available to cram the most worthless caloric crap down our gullets, while we have entire populations of people in this world who would give thier spleens for just one decent meal!  Shame on our big corporations, and shame on the two thirds of us who are severely overwieght because we have so little self control!

The alfredo sauce listed a/b is fine.   alfredo is made w/butter, cream, parmigiano reggiano cheese, and garlic.  These are all healthy fats.  They aren't good however when digested w/refined sugar and carbohydrates such as pasta made from white flour, but over a chicken breast w/some broccoli added in, that is a healthy meal.

The campbell's condensed soup is definitely bad for you b/c it has all kinds of hidden added sugars in them.  It's cheaper to make your own tomato soup from scratch and it's easier too.
