As much as it's hard to say which food is most harmful, this is so because people have different dietary needs and conditions that could affect how detrimental a food is for them.

- Sugary drinks - anything like coca-cola, fruit juice (store-sold ones usually are high in sugar to make them taste better), sports drinks, and energy drinks contain high amounts of added sugars, which can contribute to weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and other health issues. Another thing to consider is that coca-cola and other sugary drinks can lead to tooth decay as well.
- Processed meats - stuff like bacon, sausages, hot dogs, and other processed meats that are high in sodium and saturated fat, can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer.
- Fast food - the usual things you would order at McDonalds or Chick-fil-a are pretty unhealthy. A large proportion of their menu consists of foods that are high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium, which can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, and other health problems.
- Any food that contains trans fat - foods containing partially hydrogenated oils, such as fried foods, baked goods, and processed snacks, can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
- Refined carbohydrates - white bread, white rice, and other refined carbohydrates are low in fiber and can cause blood sugar spikes, leading to increased risk of type 2 diabetes and other health issues.
