Bacon

That’s right, bacon! We are coming for all of your favorite unhealthy food and meals here.

Here’s a fun fact: If you pair the previous entry on this list with bacon, add a hamburger patty, some cheese, and then make a sandwich out of it, you end up with a heart attack waiting to happen… AKA The Luther Burger.

Anyway, this wouldn’t be a list of the world’s most unhealthy food and guilty pleasures without bacon, am I right? This breakfast/brunch favorite isn’t just unhealthy because of the calories, it’s also a bad choice due to what it can do to your body.

According to an article via Time, diets high in processed meats like bacon have been linked to some pretty serious health conditions such as migraines, asthma, heart failure, and kidney disease.

After reading that article and contemplating about never eating bacon again, I have to ask a serious question: Why does it seem like the foods that taste the best are also the foods that have the potential to cause the most harm to your body?

If you do feel bad about the amount of bacon you are eating, maybe you can find a way around it. Maybe sprinkle some bacon to your salad to lessen the wound? Or eat less of it? Whatever works for you!
