Heart surgeon shares four types of foods you should ‘always avoid’ as they ‘poison’ your body
When it comes to our health, there are plenty of things that we should consider. However, a well-balanced diet is one of the most important factors.
Heart surgeon Dr. Jeremy London, who’s very famous on TikTok with his valuable advice he shares with his followers, shared a video in which he highlighted four foods that are dangerous for our body.
Fast Food
As expected, he places fast food on the top of the list of foods that need to be avoided.
Dr. London labels fast food as “edible food product,” emphasizing the fact that they lack important nutritional value.
A 2017 article published by the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine notes that fast foods are high in calories and low in nutrients. They are loaded with various synthetic ingredients, chemicals, extra corn syrup, sugar, artificial sweeteners, salt, and coloring agents. All these can affect our health in a negative way.
Soft Drinks
Dr. London, who has almost 400,000 followers on his TikTok account, refers to soft drinks as to “liquid death.”
These drinks are full of sugars and their consumption can easily lead to obesity and diabetes.
The same goes for the diet sodas, which are expected to be a healthier option but are actually disrupting our metabolism and increasing the hunger.
The surgeon’s opinion about soft drinks is backed up by a number of research conducted over the years. A particular one, from the UCLA Health, highlights that even a single can of soda per day can increase the risk of developing type II diabetes.
Milk Products
Further, the heart surgeon lists milk products as type of foods that poison our bodies.
Humans are the only mammals who consume milk beyond infancy and consume the milk of other species.
Milk products are full of saturated fat, whose consumption is linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s.
The website of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine states that “Studies have also linked dairy to an increased risk of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers.”
Dr. London advises that we either limit or avoid milk products altogether.
Alcohol
According to Dr. London, alcohol is “absolutely toxic to every cell in our bodies.
“Even moderate or occasional use is in fact detrimental,” he says. “So if we are working so hard to optimize our health, the least you could do is stop actively poisoning your body.”
Instead, we should focus on diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, and consume minimally processed foods such as beans and wholegrains.

Homeless Man Asked Me to Take His Dog – A Month Later, I Received a Mysterious Letter
It was a day like any other, a simple trip to the grocery store, when my life took an unexpected turn. I never thought a simple question from a homeless man would change everything. That day, he looked at me and asked, “Will you take my dog?”
My life had been difficult. A year had passed since my husband, Jason, died in a car accident. I was now a single mom, trying to raise our eight-year-old son, Liam. The sadness of losing Jason was always with me, and even though I tried to be strong for Liam, every day felt like a hard fight. But Liam, with his kind heart, just like Jason, gave me the strength to keep going.
On that particular afternoon, Liam and I were leaving the grocery store. Liam saw a man sitting on the edge of the parking lot. The man had a small, thin dog with him. Liam pulled on my sleeve, worried about the shivering dog. “Mom, can we help?” he asked.
I wasn’t sure. Money was tight, and I already had a lot to handle. But before I could answer, the man came to us. His face showed how much he was suffering. He told us his dog, Daisy, was the only thing he had, but he couldn’t take care of her anymore. He asked if we could take her. His eyes were full of tears. Liam, always wanting to help, asked me to say yes. I couldn’t refuse.
Daisy came home with us that day. Even though I was worried at first, she quickly became part of our family. Liam loved taking care of her. He even read her bedtime stories, saying she liked “Goodnight Moon” the best. Having her in our home brought a happiness I hadn’t felt since Jason’s death. It was like a little light in a dark room.
A month later, we got a letter in the mail. It didn’t have a return address. It was from the man we met that day. The words in his letter told us how much Daisy meant to him. He was thankful we were taking care of her. He wrote that he thought about her every day and would never forget her friendship during hard times.
Liam read the letter with me and said we had to find him. “He shouldn’t be alone, Mom,” he said. I agreed. With Daisy, we went back to the grocery store and found him at a soup kitchen. When Daisy saw him, she ran to him, her tail wagging. He held her close, crying. It was a very touching moment.
That day started a good thing. We began to visit him often, bringing food and things he needed. Daisy spent time with him. We learned his name was Edward, and he had gone through very difficult times. Even with all that, he loved Daisy very much.
A few months later, we got another letter. This time, Edward had found a job and a small place to live. He thanked us for giving him hope when he had none. He promised to stay in touch. And he did. Edward became a friend to our family, and Daisy loved being with him.
Then I think about that day in the parking lot, I wonder what would have happened if I had said no. Helping Edward and Daisy helped them, but it also showed Liam and me how important kindness is. It taught Liam that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. It reminded me that even when we are having problems, we can still help others.
Sometimes, life gives us chances to help. Saying yes that day didn’t just save Daisy. It brought hope and love to three people, creating a story of kindness that continues to inspire me. In a world that can be unkind, moments like these show us how powerful a simple act of caring can be

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s middle child seemingly unveiled a new name Saturday during a memorial service for Garner’s father, William Garner.
During the event, the 15-year-old introduced themselves as Fin.
The teen, previously known as Seraphina Rose, dressed in a suit and tie while sporting a buzz cut.
After introducing themselves as Fin Affleck, they read Chapter 16, Verse 8 from the Book of Proverbs.
Prior to their appearance at their grandfather’s memorial service in West Virginia, Fin had been spotted rocking a pink buzz cut and hanging out with their step-sibling Emme, the 16-year-old child of Jennifer Lopez.
Jennifer announced her father’s passing over the Easter weekend with an emotional tribute shared to her Instagram.

“My dad passed peacefully Saturday afternoon. We were with him, singing Amazing Grace as he left us (did we carry him across or scare him away— valid question.) While there is no tragedy in the death of an 85 year old man who lived a healthy, wonderful life, I know grief is unavoidable, waiting around unexpected corners.”
The actress went on to thank Charleston Area Medical Center and City of Hope for “extending” her father’s life and allowing him to spend his final moments “in his favorite spots— surrounded by daughters and grandchildren, cheering for his beloved Aggies, captaining a boat, and— most of all—next to his wife of 59 years, our Mom.”
Fin Affleck is the middle child of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. They have an older sister, 18-year-old Violet Anne, and a younger brother 12-year-old Samuel.
Melania’s verdict on her husband revealed in new book
If there’s one thing that’s been making headlines lately, it’s the Trump family.
Following Donald Trump’s return to the White House after winning the 2024 election, media coverage of his family has been relentless.
Their son, Barron Trump, has drawn significant attention, making multiple public appearances during the campaign. His presence at the inauguration celebration sparked discussions about everything from his towering height to his charisma.
Even after settling back into a ”normal” life at New York University, the fascination with Barron has not faded But another key figure under the spotlight is, of course, Melania Trump.
As the First Lady of the United States, all eyes are naturally on her.
Having already experienced life in the White House from 2016 to 2020, Melania is no stranger to scrutiny.

Shortly after Donald Trump returned to office, speculation ramped up over everything from her wardrobe choices to the couple’s inaugural dance.
But the real question on everyone’s mind: What’s the true state of Melania and Donald’s relationship?
Now, one insider claims to have the answer.
”She hates Him”
According to The Daily Beast, bestselling author Michael Wolff is preparing to release a new book, All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, that promises to reveal what’s really going on between the Trumps.
Wolff reportedly spoke to a trusted source who painted a bleak picture of their marriage.
“She f—ing hates him,” a “Mar-a-Lago patio confidant” of Trump and his family told Michael Wolff.
The best-selling author writes that his source was “bewildered that this needed saying.”
”Part-time first lady”
In his book, Wolff also suggests that Trump refused to acknowledge during his campaign that ”the most public marriage in the nation was breaking down,” even though it appeared to be doing so in public.
He also alleges that members of Trump’s own staff had no idea where Melania was living. For 18 months, she reportedly made no public appearances before finally showing up at an event in Milwaukee in July 2024. Even then, she allegedly refused to give a speech.
The book also points out her absence during Trump’s legal battles, choosing not to stand by his side in court.

Wolff writes that “whatever was going on—and no one had any idea what was going on, at least no more than what was plainly obvious—it had certainly not been helped by the Stormy trial,” referring to the criminal case in which Trump was convicted on 34 felony charges related to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Instead, he claims Melania took on a passive role as a “part-time First Lady” and preferred to stay at Trump Tower in Manhattan to be closer to Barron.
According to Wolff, Melania’s book Melania, released in October 2024, took Trump’s campaign by surprise. He notes that it remained uncertain whether the publication was “a diss or a kiss (of course from afar)” directed at her husband.
Trump’s team dismisses the book
Trump’s team was quick to dismiss Wolff’s claims even before the book was released. In a statement, several key campaign figures, including co-chairs Susie Wiles — now the president’s chief of staff — and Chris LaCivita, announced:
“A number of us have received inquiries from the disgraced author Michael Wolff, whose previous work can only be described as fiction. He is a known peddler of fake news who routinely concocts situations, conversations, and conclusions that never happened. As a group, we have decided not to respond to his bad faith inquiries, and we encourage others to completely disregard whatever nonsense he eventually publishes. Consider this our blanket response to whatever he writes.”

Wolff, however, describes the Trump marriage as a “black hole” where no one —perhaps not even those closest to them—knows the full truth.
“Nobody knows the answer to the what-about-Melania question. Not even the people closest to him. What is the nature of the marriage. Nobody can tell you.”
The book, titled “All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America,” is set to be released soon.
