Dr. Oz's FIVE ingredients to avoid...


To make your diet more healthy, Dr.Oz says to remember his "rules of five". Look at the labels of the foods you eat if you see one of these five ingredients listed as one of the first five things used to make it, DON'T EAT IT.


1) HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
"We most commonly find this in soft drinks", Dr. Oz says "it's an inexpensive sugar which mens we're gettin a lot of it in our diets'

2) SUGAR
Dr. Oz says when you eat sweets, your brain receives schizophrenic messages. "It says I received calories but didn't receive any nutrients." he says. Your body will keep craving food until it gets these nutrients.

3) "ENRICHED"
Also watch out for products inside with "enriched" flour, like white bread. "Why would they take bread and have to enrich it? Because they take all the important vitamins out of it, and they sprinkle just a little bit back in there.

4) TRANS FAT
Also known as hydrogenated fat. These are fats that were once in liquid form but have hydrogen added to make them solid at room temperature to extend the shelf live of the product. But it shortens the human life.

5) SATURATED FATS
These fats come from four-legged animals like pigs and cows.
