5 ‘Healthy’ Foods that May Harm Your Health

Even though nutrition experts consider these 5 foods healthy and even claim they have healing properties for the human body, some of them may actually harm your health.

Nutrition experts have made a list of 5 seemingly healthy foods that may actually lead to problems with health.

5 'Healthy' Foods that May Harm Your Health

The following 5 seemingly healthy products have been a part of our lives and we believed in their healthy properties, but as it turns out, these products have certain risks for your health:

  • White rice
  • Honey
  • Red wine
  • Oatmeal
  • Milk

White rice, which is considered to be a great sorbent and treats poisonings, when consumed more than 3 times per week increases the risk of developing type II diabetes, which makes your pancreas unable to deal with processing carbs and it leads to spikes of insulin and increased sugar levels in the blood.

Honey is often consumed with hot tea or milk. And here’s the thing: at a temperature higher than 45 degrees Celsius, all healthy properties are destroyed in honey, while at a temperature of 60-80 degrees, a cancer-causing ingredient hydroxymethyl furfural is produced. Besides, honey is a potent allergen and the destroyer of tooth enamel.

Red wine has a high content of antioxidants polyphenols, which are considered to be healthy for the blood vessels, may cause headaches, which means red wine is one of the most potent provokers of migraines.

Oatmeal contains phytic acid, which doesn’t allow calcium to be properly digested in the stomach. Oatmeal also contains gluten – and you’ve heard plenty of bad stuff from nutrition experts about the harm of gluten.

You must also limit the consumption of milk if you are prone to developing stones in the kidneys or the bladder, according to experts. Besides, milk is a potent allergen, while the milk acid aggravates inflammation in the joints.
