Margarine

Butter has historically been classified as an unhealthy food choice because of its high saturated fat content. So various health professionals started promoting margarine. Margarine used to be high in trans fats. These days, it’s lower in trans fats than before, but still loaded with refined vegetable oils. Not surprisingly, the Framingham Heart Study showed that people who substitute margarine for butter were actually more likely to die from heart disease.

Vegan Junk-Food

Vegan diets are very popular these days, often for ethical and environmental reasons. However, many people advocate a vegan diet because they think it is healthier. There are many processed vegan foods on the market that are often sold as convenient substitutes for non-vegan foods. Vegan bacon is an example. However, it’s important to remember that these tend to be highly processed, factory-made products that are bad for almost everyone, including people who are vegan.
