48. Chips Ahoy! Cookies

Sorry to ruin yet another American favorite, everyone, but here we are again. This time the offender is Chips Ahoy! We knew those delicious choc-chip cookies tasted too good to be true. As it turns out, they're full of trans fats, which are so bad for your heart that you're pretty much asking for trouble if you continue to eat them. They also contain a lot of high fructose corn syrup and carcinogenic caramel color.

If you want to maintain a healthy body, cutting your Chips Ahoy! habit is a great idea. Your heart will repay you by not getting all clogged up and causing you a lot of pain and potential death. If you want to go really healthy, try snacking on cacao nibs. They're made of raw chocolate and can be bitter at first, but you'll get used to them.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
