5 dangerous foods you should never eat for breakfast

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for its numerous health benefits. But there is an abundance of unhealthy morning food options that you probably don't know.

Here is a list of the worst breakfasts you should avoid:

1. Breakfast Cereals

One study found that children who consumed a fortified breakfast cereal designed to improve immune function ended up getting sick just as often as children who didn’t consume the cereal.

2. Fruit-Flavored Yogurt - more sugar than ice cream

Non-fat sweetened yogurt is very high in sugar, and may contain more of it than ice cream. It also lacks the natural dairy fat that can increase fullness.

3. Granola Bars

Granola bars may sound like great breakfast options, but they’re often no better than candy bars.

Although unprocessed oats are high in fiber, granola bars provide only 1–3 grams of fiber, on average. However, they contain a lot of added sugar.

4. Fruit Juice

Fruit juice is one of the worst choices you can make if you’re trying to avoid hunger, weight gain and chronic disease.

Some fruit juices on the market actually contain very little juice and are sweetened with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. High sugar levels increase your risk of obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and other diseases.

5. Toast with Margarine

Toast topped with margarine may seem like a good breakfast choice, since it doesn’t contain saturated fat or sugar.

However, this is actually an unhealthy breakfast for two reasons.

First, because the flour in most bread is refined, it provides you with few nutrients and little fiber.

Second, most margarines contain trans fats, which are the most unhealthy type of fat you can eat.

Stay safe!
