Donuts are certainly one of life's most delicious guilty pleasures. Let's face it, we all know they're not good for us, but we just can't help ourselves. Enjoying a donut from time to time is not going to kill you, but if you're indulging more than once a week, you might want to reevaluate some of your dietary choices. It's hard to resist a coffee and a donut to start the day, but it must be done!
Donuts are a problem because they're a bunch of bad things rolled into one. First, you have the refined white flour, which makes up the dough. Then it is deep fried at high temperatures, in oil. Lastly, it is coated in sugar or sugar-laden frosting. You know enough now to realize how this could end up causing cancer.
