Twinkies are probably on that list.I ate five a day for years and I’ve only had three heart attacks.

I can’t think of 50 foods I avoid. Avocados ... and yes, I know they’re healthy, but I hate the color.

[ansel12]

It takes going through 51 pages?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

So,,, where’s the list? Annoying site, so I stopped looking.

[Daffynition]

[Migraine]

I hope they are now approving chicarones. But I’ll be darned if I’m going to click through all these one at a time. I resent these articles almost as much as I do the popups

[cornfedcowboy]

AHHHHHHHHH! I hate the incorrect usage of “healthy”. The author means “healthful”.

bttt

[bigbob]

Is there anything more annoying than these “50 Foods” or “Top 10 Best” or “25 Most” ... lists that appear on websites that make you click through page after page after page to see what the hell they are?

Just publish the damn list, and I might buy some of the crap from the sidebar ads, but when they do this, I make it point not to even look at the ads.

Apparently crack is a foodgroup unto itself. I did not know that...

[Billthedrill]

Dude. Corn smut? No.

Lots of stuff I do like in this list, though, and it's good to see that the cholesterol fetishism is meeting some skepticism. But there are entries here that are just plain nasty. For example:

Sea Cucumber - Why we avoid it: It breathes through its anus, can liquefy its body and acts as the vacuum cleaner of the ocean.

How did we suddenly start talking about Barney Frank?

There is no such thing as food that is “healthy”. Every body is different, with different needs. What might be healthy - and necessary - for me could be toxic for you.
There are, of course, foods that are unhealthy across the board: all packaged food, low-level baked goods, sodas, ice cream.

Somewhere there’s a web editor who thinks someone wants to go through 50 panels to read an article.

[poobear]

Then I don’t have to worry. I eat everything :)
Come on guys. Don’t bust a gut!

[NEMDF]

Please tell me that cherry pie, lobster, and Baskin-Robbins jamocha almond fudge ice cream are on the list. Maybe some fried chicken?

[keats5]

I do notice I tend to lose weight when I eat a lot of cheese. Interesting.

Andrew Zimmern says eating bugs, worms, testicles, and other unsavory sounding things are quite good for you.

There was a recent case where a man ate 20-30 cockroaches to demonstrative their nutritional value, but then died.

Remember Ewell Gibbons, the ‘natural’ food guy who died rather young?
