That is a difficult question to answer. Sugary junk foods are
probably one of the most unhealthy, but any foods sweetened with
high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are even more unhealthy.
Many people do not realize that refined sugar used as a
sweetener has no nutritional value, or that the amount quoted for
RDA is the MAXIMUM amount of refined sugar one should consume, not
a minimum amount one needs to consume.
HFCS is now being used instead of sugar by many companies.
According to some reports, it can damage the body much more than
refined sugar does.
