Doughnuts
Doughnuts are made out of refined white flour dough that is deep fried and then covered in sugar- if that does not scream unhealthy, what does! There is nothing redeeming about this snack - it is easily one of the worst foods in the market today as doughnuts contain the "unholy trinity" - refined flour, processed sugar and trans-fats. Most doughnuts are approximately 35 to 40 percent trans-fats, these fats are particularly unhealthy as they decrease the level of heart-healthy good cholesterol and increase the level of bad cholesterol. So if you've ever wondered, "what foods should I avoid to lower my cholesterol", doughnuts should definitely be at the top of your list of foods to avoid.
