Fried egg... Obviously, unless you're worried about having a heart attack or something...

@AdaXI We now know that a couple of eggs per day are fine for the average person and won't raise their likelihood of a heart attack. Other foods we routinely eat are much more detrimental to our health.

@Massageman I agree wholeheartedly.

@AdaXI For example - We'd be much better off getting rid of HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) which is SO prevalent in MANY "innocent-looking" foods, ketchup being one big culprit I still have to manage (not to mention dozens of other hidden sugars). Even simple table sugar is less injurious on a 1:1 basis (not that I'm advocating sitting and eating a bowl of sugar for a snack). Here is the short list.

The words “syrup,” “sweetener,” and anything ending in “ose” can usually be assumed to be sugar. If the label says “no added sugars,” it should not contain ANY of them, although the food may contain naturally occurring sugars (such as lactose in milk).
Sugar Alcohols
A lot of "sugar-free" foods have ingredients called sugar alcohols in them. These include ingredients such as maltitol (laxative), sorbitol (flatulence), and xylitol (toxic to doggos). Sugar alcohols aren't sugar and they are not alcohol; they're a sugar substitute and not considered added sugar, but may have other health-related issues of their own, from diarrhea to pet-poisoning. Ingredients ending in "ol" are often sugar alcohols. If you are watching your sugar intake to manage a health condition, get more information about the specific ingredient (and how it might affect your health) before consuming it.
