Figured this would be an interesting topic to post, to list some of the bad stuff that we once ate or drank. It is very hard to cut out ALL bad (toxic) food/ingredients.
I stopped using sugar and cream in my coffee's (8oz). I used to have 4 spoons of sugar and 2 creams, and that totaled 20 spoons of sugar in one day. Haven't had sugar once since 1998 and use 1% milk instead of cream.
Any others??

Hydrogenated oil. If I see hydrogenated oil, partially hydrogenated oil, shortening, or margarine on the ingredient list I put it back with out a second thought.

Its too bad that nearly every baked good contains these hydrogenated death oils (and whats even worse is that they don't need to cook with them at all!). I miss my cheese breads. I don't mind get a few extra fats in my diet, but toxic fats that stick inside you forever I can pass on!

- Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right.
- If your hungry all the time, your not eating enough. And anyways, being hungry sucks.

cokes.....I might have 3 or 4 a year at the most, they actually dehydrate me more if I drink one.

Hardly ever have any sugar (refined sugar), not very much flour either.

Number one!!! this stuff poses much more of a threat than a bad eating habit, this stuff can really kill you and does kill many folks....or at the very least lead to the causes that in the end do kill you that are proclaimed as "natural" causes.

Quoting from borpillicus:

Hydrogenated oil. If I see hydrogenated oil, partially hydrogenated oil, shortening, or margarine on the ingredient list I put it back with out a second thought.
