THE FIVE WORST FOODS YOU CAN EAT Why are all these foods my favorites?

Nothing could get your day off to a better start than a lip smacking breakfast of eggs Benedict with hollandaise sauce, right? Wrong. Unless you like starting your day with the number one worst food in the world, according to a report in Forbes magazine.

1. Eggs Benedict may wake up your taste buds, but an average serving is packed with a whopping 72 grams of fat and 1,000 calories. The popular egg dish tops Forbes' list of unhealthy foods.

2. Running a close second is the all-American cheeseburger. Loaded with saturated fats, these 1,000 calorie conglomerations of fried red meat, cheese and refined white bread can contribute to heart disease, stroke and prostate or colon cancer.

3. Duck confit, which is duck meat preserved in salt and its own fat, comes in third, weighing in with 60 grams of fat and 1,000 calories. Even though duck is poultry, it isn't to be confused with the white meat of chicken because it can have more fat than a juicy steak.

4. Fourth on the list is fondue, which has a little less fat, 50 grams, but a waist-expanding 1,300 calories. And the globs of globs of melted cheese are guaranteed to send your cholesterol level into the stratosphere.

5. Rounding out the top five is fettuccine Alfredo, a creamy 500 calories concoction of pasta, cheese, butter and cream. Says Dr. James Kenny of the Pritikin Longevity Center in Florida: "We call fettuccine Alfredo the 'triple bypass special'."
