Foods That Can Eat Away At You!

2. Although we all love potato chips, most brands are fried up in oils riddled in omega-6 fatty acids that block out mood-enhancing, brain-building omega-3 fatty acids. Frying potatoes also creates the carcinogen acrylamide.

3. Scientists have debated what was healthier for us - margarine or butter. Now, the science is clear = margarines made of inflammation-promoting, industrial fats are harmful, and the high levels of omega-6 fatty acids could tamper with our mood and healthy insulin levels.  The bottom line is that margarine is fake food that the human body doesn't know how to deal with it.

4. Many people have the impression that bagels are healthy. The truth is, they are packed with refined carbs that result in a major energy crash and mood bust before lunch-time. Not to mention that the size of bagels has doubled compared to just a few decades ago.
