Xinhua News Agency, Yangtze River Delta Channel, June 22 - Most people know that candy and carbonated drinks are not good for your health, but nutritionists recommend avoiding many more foods than just Coca-Cola and some chocolates. The following are 5 types of supermarket foods that the U.S. magazine "Time" recently advised people to stay away from: The first type: Sugary sports drinks
Many parents consider sports drinks to be a healthy choice in the summer, but these beverages often contain a lot of sodium and sugar. Sugary sports drinks are essentially just sugary water, which might benefit marathon runners, but children after regular exercise are better off drinking water instead of drinks. The second category: Sugary cereals
Cereal breakfast foods like oatmeal may be rich in fiber or other nutrients, but some breakfast cereals are actually made from glucose and partially hydrogenated bean oil. Breakfast cereals with high sodium content and low fiber content are little better than what we typically call sweets. The third category: High-fat fast food
Consumers looking for a quick nutritional boost should try to avoid frozen dinners and ready-to-eat lunches. People might think turkey has less fat and is easier to digest, but the turkey in frozen dinners is actually a high-fat junk food. The fourth category: Ultra-sweet milk
Be particularly cautious with the various new types of sweet milk. When drinking milk, choose skim milk, or switch to water and healthy juices. The fifth category: Unhealthy "healthy" snacks
From chips to dried fruit, many snacks sound healthy, and some are even marketed as "organic" foods, but they are actually tastier, not healthier. "Fruit" foods like banana chips may be high in fat and contain much more sugar than the fruits they are made from.
