There are many food items which we consume unknowingly on daily basis. They are the items which we think are good for our health but in reality, they are very harmful.

Acarbonic food: Harmful pesticides and fertilizers are used to manufacture acarbonic food which affect our health seriously. To manufacture these items, the genetic makeup of the ingredient substance is changed. Many of the fruits and vegetables which we think are harmless are acarbonic in reality. Food items like apple, cauliflower, or lettuce are no more organic in nature. Hence these vegetables and fruits, which are supposed to be healthy, become the reason of our degrading health. That’s why one should buy carbonic food items judiciously to make sure they are not affecting our health. Despite being comparatively expensive, we should always buy these biological food items.

Packaged food: Most of us find it convenient to consume packaged food as they are easy to prepare and eat. But they are harmful for health as they have no nutritional component in them. They consist of artificial color and substances which can be harmful for our heart.

Apart from acarbonic and packaged food items, aerated drinks and sugar are also harmful for our health.

4. French Fries and Potato Chips:

Well, they have to be harmful as they are junk food, but special care should be taken while consuming these potato-made food items because they are generally made with refined sugar, refined wheat flour and added fats and have no essential nutrients in them.
