29. Instant Mashed Potatoes
Instant mashed potatoes are usually highly processed and may be excessively high in sodium. Although an essential nutrient, too much sodium can wreak havoc on the body and may increase a person's risk of stomach cancer.
A small serving of 100 grams of instant mashed potatoes may contain just under 2,000 milligrams of sodium, which is more than the recommended daily allowance of 1,500 milligrams. Some people may add salt and butter to the potatoes, further increasing the sodium content.
