O ne of the factors that often allows individuals who are addicted to drugs and alcohol to get beyond their addiction is admitting the fact that they have a problem. They may have been addicted to the substance for years, and it may be such a large part of their life that being without it is almost like cutting off an arm or a leg.

You have junk food that doesnt really fit into any type of description, such as those that are produced by companies like Hostess and Little Debbies. These types of foods contain sugar but they contain such a wide variety of other, often unknown, ingredients that it can be quite frightening when you truly know what is inside of them.

Another type of junk food that people often overlook is diet food. Most people feel that if they give up sugary soda in favor of diet soda, they are doing a great service to their body. The fact the matter is, however, the chemicals that are found in diet soda and other diet foods are often so dangerous that they rival or even surpass the dangers that are associated with the junk food that they are trying to mimic. Not only that, many of the so-called diet foods actually contain chemicals which are thought to be designed to make you fat. Isnt that ironic?
