Have you ever heard of a food that kills people? It may sound alarming, but honestly, some of the most common ingredients we consume on a daily basis are silent killers. By that we mean that in the long run they can cause serious diseases that affect our health.
The foods we’ll review below (with the goal of eliminating them from our diets) are major causes of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, and more. They can even worsen the symptoms of diseases such as arthritis. If you want to live a long and healthy life with your loved ones, stop eating the following 20 foods that are silently killing you.
1. Salt
Cardiovascular diseases caused by high blood pressure are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Can you guess which foods you eat daily are important for blood pressure control? Salt, of course. If you consume more than 6 milligrams of it daily, you may be at increased risk of heart attack and even stroke.

2. Fruit juices
The biggest disadvantage of pasteurized fruit juices is that most of the healthy nutrients contained in the fruit are lost during the manufacturing process. Don’t be fooled by advertising or labels that say «100% natural»; if you look carefully at the ingredients list, you’ll find that these juices are full of sugar, dyes and preservatives.
