Foods That Harm the Heart 🚫

Recent British research highlights specific foods that negatively impact arteries and increase the risk of heart disease. Here's what cardiologists say about these culprits:

1. Liver 🐮

   • Dr. Elinor Levin (Stanford University):
     Liver is rich in saturated fats and retains toxins from its role in detoxifying the body, making it harmful for heart health.

2. Sausages 🌭

   • Dr. Elizabeth Klodas (Minneapolis):
     Loaded with sodium and saturated fats, sausages can spike blood pressure and increase bad cholesterol levels.

3. Margarine 🧈

   • Dr. Harmony Reynolds (NYU):
     Just one tablespoon daily increases the risk of death by 6%. She suggests switching to olive oil as a healthier alternative.

4. Fatty Steaks 🥩

   • Dr. Leonard Lilly (Brigham Hospital):
     These are linked to heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.

5. Bacon 🥓

   • Dr. Francoise Marvel (Johns Hopkins):
     Processed bacon is packed with saturated fats and sodium, heightening risks of hypertension and heart disease.

6. Fried Chicken 🍗

   • Dr. Sanjay Maniar (Houston):
     Contains trans fats that increase bad cholesterol and contribute to artery hardening.

7. Donuts 🍩

   • Dr. Jane Morgan (Atlanta):
     Fried in oils rich in trans fats, they negatively impact heart health and spike blood sugar levels.

8. Processed Bologna 🥪

• Dr. James Odellson (Tufts Medical Center):
  High in sodium and preservatives, this processed meat is a major heart health hazard.
