Donuts and other baked goods

Donuts are delicious, but they contain unhealthy ingredients, like refined flour that offer no nutritional value compared to whole grain products. Donuts contain a lot of sugar, too much sugar leaves your body struggling to break it down and use it, often gets stored as fat.
