MAPI discusses the issue of bad foods, under the heading of "behavioural rasayana" http://www.mapi.com/en/newsletters/ayurvedic_behavioral_rasayanas.html "Tamasic foods are the opposite of saatvic - they break down the coordination between mind and body and inhibit the experience of pure consciousness. They create darkness rather than light. "Tamasic foods include alcohol, garlic, onions, red meat, leftovers, and packaged foods, which have little life force. "Anyone who wishes to practice Achara (Behavioural) Rasayana should avoid them."
