America?s shocking nutrition facts (supermarkets)

Dave Zinczenko and Matt Goulding of Men?s Health (US) may have just saved our lives. They compiled an extensive list of the worst foods one can have this year in America. I am giving you a peek into that list through today and tomorrow?s editions of The Daily 10 so if ever you?re in the States, you know what to avoid. Today features the worst-packaged foods that you can easily pick up at supermarkets. Tomorrow will be about the worst restaurant entr?es. So dig in (but we recommend otherwise!):

1. Pillsbury Big Deluxe Classics White Chunk Macadamia Nut?This is the fattiest cookie dough with 2-grams trans fat and 3-grams saturated fat per cookie. According to the report, it?s equivalent to five ?fun? size 3 Musketeers bars.

2. Eggo Original Syrup?An all sugared up syrup, this is a maple syrup substitute that has 12 times more calories than sugar-free variants. It has the same sugar content as two Haagen-Dazs Vanilla & Almond ice cream bars.

3. Quaker 100% Natural Granola, Oats, Honey & Raisins?How can a 100-percent natural cereal be bad? It can?t but the sugar in it is deadly. This contains 420 calories and 30-grams sugar. And to think that the fiber only adds up to 6-grams. Zinczenko and Goulding compare it to eight chicken wings.

4. Hostess Chocolate Pudding Pie?Like having two McDonald?s Quarter Pounder in terms of saturated fat, this is America?s worst individual snack. It has a long list of fatty and sugary content that we should all stay away from.

5. AriZona Kiwi Strawberry?In the drink department, this is the unhealthiest ?blended juice? you can find. The writers report that only 5 percent is real fruit and the other 95 is water and sugary syrup.

6. DiGiorno for One Garlic Bread Crust Supreme Pizza ?Frozen pizza is great for those who don?t have the time to cook up a meal. But don?t go for this one as it contains 850 calories, 1,450 sodium and 44-g fat.

7. Jimmy Dean Pancake and Sausage Links Breakfast Bowls?This is another frozen meal that shouldn?t make it into your freezer. It?s like having six bowls of Froot Loops at one go. The same brand has the D-lights variants, which have significantly less calories, sodium and fat.

8. Hungry-Man Classic Fried Chicken ?This is the worst frozen entr?e in US supermarkets. Feast on this: 1,020 calories, 1,570-mg sodium and 57-g fat. This is three times the amount contained in other some brands.

9. Oscar Mayer Maxed Out Turkey & Cheddar Cracker Combo Lunchables?As America?s worst- packaged lunch, this has a long ingredient list that represents many types of fats and sugars. Go figure.

10. Marie Callender?s Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pot Pie?Zinczenko and Goulding hail this sinful little thing as the worst- packaged food in American supermarkets today. It has the same sodium content as eight small bags of potato chips, the same amount of fat as 23 strips of bacon and has a calorie equivalent of seven Taco Bell Fresco Beef Tacos. Whew!
