When it comes to our health, there are plenty of things that we should consider. However, a well-balanced diet is one of the most important factors.

Heart surgeon Dr. Jeremy London, who’s very famous on TikTok with his valuable advice he shares with his followers, shared a video in which he highlighted four foods that are dangerous for our body.

As expected, he places fast food on the top of the list of foods that need to be avoided.

Dr. London labels fast food as “edible food product,” emphasizing the fact that they lack important nutritional value.
A 2017 article published by the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine notes that fast foods are high in calories and low in nutrients.

They are loaded with various synthetic ingredients, chemicals, extra corn syrup, sugar, artificial sweeteners, salt, and coloring agents. All these can affect our health in a negative way.
Soft Drinks

Dr. London, who has almost 400,000 followers on his TikTok account, refers to soft drinks as to “liquid death.”

These drinks are full of sugars and their consumption can easily lead to obesity and diabetes.
The same goes for the diet sodas, which are expected to be a healthier option but are actually disrupting our metabolism and increasing the hunger.
The surgeon’s opinion about soft drinks is backed up by a number of research conducted over the years. A particular one, from the UCLA Health, highlights that even a single can of soda per day can increase the risk of developing type II diabetes.
