5 scary foods you don't want to eat
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
You might think this is a story about scary Halloween food concoctions, perfect for your upcoming spooky soirée. Nope. This is about actual scary foods -- the stuff you really don't want in your diet because, well, read on and you'll see. Let's just say the following foods seem far from healthy, which means we don't really recommend them all that much. Actually, we're back and forth on the soy one.
- Raw stuff, like raw fish, crab, prawn, lobster, water chestnuts, and eggs. Toxins, fungus, mold, yeast, and bacteria -- all found in raw foods like these, and they can't be ingested properly by our digestive system, says HealthMad.
- Anything from the back of your fridge. If it's been pushed to the rear, your feeling should be fear. It's likely past its expiration date and working on a pretty good pattern of mold.
- Nano foods, which are genetically engineered or cloned foods, may be coming soon to a dinner table near you. Be on the lookout for these three: a brand of canola cooking oil called Canola Active Oil, a tea called Nanotea, and a chocolate diet shake called Nanoceuticals Slim Shake Chocolate.
- Escamoles (the eggs of the giant black Liometopum ant and apparently pretty tasty in tacos) and anything else from this list. Caution: Strong language used on this site.
- Soy. This might be a controversial one, but Play Life says soy food has never been proven safe and the site counts a few studies showing it can permanently damage your health. Want five compelling reasons to avoid this scary food? Click here.

"Final Remark:
This article is based upon the clinical and scientific facts that have been documented in the academic documentations. Therefore, its facts should not be suspicious or doubt."
Ok...why doesn't the article cite these studies then? Many of them sound fishy and while the dangers listed might be possible, many are not probable.

Escamoles are fantastic and not bad for you at all. As a matter of fact they are an excellent low fat source of protein.
