Processed food such as hot dogs, pepperoni and bacon, contain a compound known as sodium nitrite, a compound that can yield cancerous effects on the body’s cells.

Research indicates that those who regularly consumed processed meats have a frightening67% greater chance of contracting pancreatic cancer as opposed to those who consumed little or no processed meat products.

food containing High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS), Trans fat, foods that causes LDL to rise or HDL to decrease that is most of the processed foods.

 Fat, sugar and calories are not your enemy but your friend! but moderation is the key for a healthy lifestyle but it is advised to decrease the consumption of these bad foods. also, I would like to mention that obesity and diabetes rates has surprisingly increased through the last decade ----> HFCS, Trans fat ----> from processed foods.

There are so many it's difficult to chose just one.  'Granola or energy bars' are packed with so many calories and so much sugar that they are no better than regular candy bars.  Anything frozen that's supposed to be low call and healthy. The have nearly zero nutrients.  Diet soda.

Fast food, biscuits, potato chips, pretzels, pies, soft drinks, canned food or frozen such as meat and vegetables, fried foods such as potatoes, meat, artificial sweeteners, food snacks and beverages that contain preservatives and artificial flavors and colors of materials; such as juices, desserts such as chocolate and donuts, caffeine coffee and tea.

I thinks the answer depends on the medical history I mean if patient have blood clot history the vegetables which contain vitamin K ( healthy food) will be most unhealthy food for him/her. Also for kidney disease control the food which contain potassium like bananas or coconutwater ....or the grilled red meat for the gout patients it's all health food in general but unhealthy for them thanks for your question
