Snack attack Sugar levels low? Lacking energy? Attacking the snack drawer is the easy way out, but offers no long-term nutritional benefits. Here are some "Worst Snack Foods" by Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S: 1. French Fries Don't be reassured by the fact that McDonald's is changing its cooking oil. French fries are still starchy, white potatoes cooked in hot fat and flavoured with chemicals and sugar. Possibly the worst snack food on the planet. 2. Donuts Fried bread. Need I say more? And if that wasn't bad enough, add a sugary cream filling and a glaze of more sugar on top. Any questions? 3. Chips (Potato or Corn) These are really just a packaged version of French fries (see #1). However, you can do damage control on this one by switching to baked blue corn chips, available in health food stores. It's still not real food, but it beats the 7-Eleven version any day. 4. Soda And sorry, this includes the diet kind. Absolutely nothing of any value here, and a whole lot of chemicals to boot.
