That claim—“This food you eat every week is a real poison for your body”—is usually clickbait, but it often refers to common foods that can harm your health if consumed too often or in excess. Let’s break it down responsibly:

3️⃣ Fast Food / Deep-Fried Foods
- Examples: French fries, fried chicken
- Why risky: High in trans fats and sodium → heart disease, inflammation
4️⃣ Certain Farmed Fish
