"Strongly Negative" is the key phrase here.

Any number of foods can have a negative effect that stay under the radar but their effect builds up over time. Perfectly healthy foods such as potato's, tomato's, peppers, eggplants(aubergenes) and capsicums belong to the family of plants called nightshades. There great foods for many but I can't tolerate them.

Any way I would alway's reccomend avoiding "Frankenfoods"

Hydrogenated/transfats and ANY food that contains them is on the top of the avoid list. They encourage a lot of free radical damage which builds up over time. HFCS is right up there as a frankenfood. Artificial sweeteners are also on my "Not in this lifetime" list.
