The One Thing Almost All Doctors Won’t Eat
That said, in general the doctors we spoke with all commented on how they see patients daily who are in a compromised state of health because of the foods they consume.
The problem, unanimously, begins with a lack of education, from kindergarten to, in some cases, medical school. While there are resources out there like Choose My Plate, there are barriers to self-education, ranging from low economic status to the unavailability of and plain ignorance regarding food labeling.
While the doctors we consulted naturally have differing opinions on what foods they would never eat themselves, there were a few unanimous choices that showed up in nearly every response. For instance, "processed meats [like] bologna, ham, and hot dogs, all of which are high in nitrates, fats, and salt," says Dr. Joseph Maroon, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center neurosurgeon and vice chairman of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine's department of neurological surgery, were all on the do-not eat list. But the number one thing?
Ice cream.
In Fact, Dr. Michael Hirt says it is "The worst food for humans. It is chock-full of chemicals, hormones, and pasteurized dairy. Pasteurization changes the proteins of milk. It has saturated fats and, worst of all, sugar in it." And as for frozen yogurt? "Not much better at all. It all has sugar, which has ruined more of human civilization than any ingredient."
