No surprise here. Topping our list of foods that will speed your trip six feet under is refined white sugar. With no redeeming qualities other than taste, it’s known as white poison because it drains the body of important vitamins and minerals, including calcium. So not only will sugar eat away at your teeth’s enamel from the outside, it’ll eat at the calcium from the inside. This goes for bones, too. Frequent consumption is also thought to lead to obesity (and all its dangerous health effects), diabetes, gout, and high blood pressure. Refined sugar is not only what you sprinkle on your cereal or plop into your coffee, it’s what’s added to processed foods to make them sweeter. And kill us quicker.
