13. Pop Tarts

The first Pop Tarts hit our breakfast tables in the UK in the 90s and boy did they make a big impact! They're convenient, tasty, and fun, but that's all there is to it. These exciting breakfasts in one are full of processed white flour, artificial colors and sugar. We may want a nostalgic look back at our childhoods, when we didn't have to worry about the dangers of sugar for breakfast as adults. We should, however, only rarely eat Pop Tarts for breakfast (or give them to our children). Starting the day with so much sugar will inevitably give us that high-octane sugar rush, followed by the even more inevitable crash, leaving us lethargic and foggy with the craving for another sugar fix. Consequentially, we tend to make unhealthy choices throughout the day. Weight gain and blood sugar levels can be caused by consuming a high-sugar diet, both of which can lead to more negative consequences in the future. So, keep fun, artificially colored, sweetened breakfast ideas in a rare treat (which lacks many other nutrients that are beneficial to our health).
