We Asked Cardiologists To Share The One Food They Would Never Eat, And Some Of The Answers Might Surprise You
BuzzFeed ^ | 12/23/2024 | by Leigh Weingus HuffPost Contributor

Most of us are aware that certain habits are flat-out terrible for our hearts. Smoking? Forget about it. A sedentary lifestyle — yep, that will eventually get you.

But with diet culture still running rampant, the foods that are “good” and “bad” can feel a bit murkier. The keto diet, for example, encourages piling on the bacon. And while it may help you lose weight, something about chomping on bacon every day feels — not great.

If you’re eating with your heart health in mind (and we all should be, at least a little bit!), you can read through the American Heart Association’s diet and lifestyle recommendations. Or, if you really want to cut to the chase, you can find out which foods top cardiologists avoid 99% of the time.

While none of these foods will kill you if eaten once in a while, cardiologists say these are the foods they never, or very rarely, eat.

I guess these cardiologists never saw any of the massive studies proving animal based diets are far superior to any plant based diet.

Carnivore, Ketovore, or Ketogenic are the best lifestyle diets combined with some sort of exercise.

Eat bugs. Be happy. Not a suggestion, it’s an order.

My priorities for food not to be eaten (given today’s formulations):

1. Sugar
2. Flour products (bread, noodles, etc.)
3. Other carbs (rice, potatoes, etc.)
4. Seed oils

I need a browser which throws out any page that is titled "might surprise you".

We grab rattlesnakes in our yard and the results might surprise you.

We give a cat a bath and the results might surprise you.

We gradually arm one side in a conflict without any strategic plan or victory conditions and the result might surprise you.

Actually, other than liver, none of those is surprising in the least to me.

As far as Bologna goes......fried is the only civilized way to eat it.

I’ll admit that I was worried for a moment. But cheddar cheese perogies covered in caramelized onions wasn’t on the list. So I guess I’m okay.

Your comment mostly took the same words right out of my mouth.

I got half way down the list and realized much as just outdated opinions, not fact. Just about every once-trusted segment of our society has been politicized today. This includes the medical community. The covid scam is what outed them. Anything they claim today as being good or bad for us likely has some political motivation behind it.

The only thing I agree with is the liver, not because I think it’s bad for me, it’s because it’s nasty to smell and eat. We will be hitting the low carb diet on Jan 1st to lose weight where bacon and steak will be our best friends.

“Liver is especially bad because it’s also the organ that filters out toxins, so any toxins are typically just sitting there”

this guy is an idiot: the liver NEUTRALIZES toxins [not “filters out”] for REMOVAL ... the liver isn’t a storehouse for toxins, so toxins don’t just “sit there” ...

I occasionally eat every one of the items on the list, with the exception of fried chicken.
I’m 75, see my cardiologist yearly, am in excellent health, and will not stop eating any of them, I like them.

“Klodas noted that all processed meats, including sausages, ham and bacon, have been classified as carcinogens by the World Health Organization.”

Im sorry but I think that the WHO is spreading group think with this misinformation. Personally, I dont need this kind of negativity in my life, now or ever.
