Donuts

Sweet and soft, donuts are one of the naughtiest treats we all love, but they are also among the unhealthiest. They contain plenty of sugar, refined flour, and added fats and are extremely high in calories meaning they can make you gain weight very easily.

Too much sugar can lead to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, insulin resistance and metabolic problems, all which can be fatal after 40. One donut has the same amount of fat as three cookies, that is 3 times the amount of sugar in a cookie as well. Donuts contain one quarter of all the saturated fat you’re supposed to eat in a day.
