Best Answer

They have tons of sugar and are high in sodium ( salt ) which is a bad thing. If you have to much of it it can make you larger and unhealthy. Having a doughnut once in a while is fine but not one a week or every day. I learned from experience.

Donuts, cakes, cupcakes, danishes, cookies, and similar items have a high sugar and carbohydrate content and not too much of any other nutrients. For most people. it is a nice snack to enjoy occasionally or as a desert, but it is not a substitute for real food.

These foods can and do contribute to obesity which can trigger Diabetes. The sugars in donuts can make a diabetic sicker which can result in loss of limb, blindness, other problems and can lead to death. Including bread and other wheat related foods, the wheat in donuts can make a person with celiac disease very sick.

Are donuts as unhealthy as everyone says?

For the most part, donuts are relatively unhealthy.

However, all it does it add extra sugar, fat and calories. Plain dounts are not terrible, as it is like a doughy pastry.
