I plead guilty on quite a few of these - but certainly not sugary peanut butter, food coloring, canned fruit or artificial sweeteners!

I plead guilty of reading this foolish claptrap. Don't use heavy cream?
EVER?

Any idiot can write any idiotic thing, and it gets circulated.

The whole thing was bullshit. All of them are harmless if eaten infrequently.

These are the kind of useless claptrap "articles" that sites like MSN and many others favor. I wish people would stop posting them here, the information is more often useless and often entirely wrong. "15 Facts You Didn't Know About the Eiffel Tower!" (which I saw last night) claimed "Construction on the Eiffel Tower started in 1987..."

"15 things that . . ."

"you are doing something all wrong"

"amazing facts they didn't want you to know about . . ."

I'm workforce development, and this kinda stuff is RIFE on LinkedIn, employment sites, etc...."10 things You Should NEVER Reveal In An Interview!", "5 Tips to SCORE That Dream Job!", "25 SLOPPY Office Habits!"...at least I've got reams of stuff to put on class handouts.

Lots of stuff like this for "Motivational" topics, too...

It's "a much of a muchness", blame the Millennials, I guess...

As usual, lists like this are sweeping generalizations written by
someone who apparently is worried about everyone getting fat.

I buy sugar, sure. To make "nectar" for the hummingbird feeder. I
don't eat sugar-laden food. (Maybe all the fat people out there should
stop supporting Dunkin' Donuts while pretending they are only there for
the coffee. Heh.)

Don't use heavy cream?! I certainly will if a recipe calls for it.
It's doubtful it will be a huge amount in any case. I might use half &
half instead if that's what I have on hand. But hey, it's not as if I'm
sitting around drinking heavy cream.

I'm not a big fan of rice, but on the rare occasions I cook it I don't
think about replacing it with something like quinoa. (Can you imagine
'Red Beans & Quinoa'? LOL) Just wait a few years... there will be some
new "study" saying quinoa is bad for you.

The peanut butter I buy contains two ingredients: peanuts and salt.
(Salt is another thing I don't worry about.)

I eat very little pasta but when I want something like spaghetti I use
plain pasta. It's the base for the meal; the pasta isn't what is
important (to me), it's the sauce/seasonings. Chickpea pasta? Good
luck finding that around here. Ditto "zoodles" (zucchini pasta). And
no, I won't bother making my own.

My 2 cents, which due to inflation is now 5 cents.

I don't read those so-called best or worst food lists anymore. They just want you to view the @#$% ads that on the site. Its their ONLY reason...to get your exposure to their money-making ads.

Other than that, they could care less if you are well or sick or whatever. Vultures ALL.

You don't care about them either. You don't even know their names.
