Answer:

1. Saturated Fat

2. Sodium

3. Potassium

Explanation:

Potassium in high doses can lead to heart attacks or death.

But Saturated fat leads to cholesterol buildup in the arteries and that means more risk for heart illnesses and strokes.

High sodium can lead to high blood pressure. But some recent research finds that we don't really know how much sodium is too much for healthy people since some people really overconsume sodium and are not experiencing blood pressure complications.

And lastly, cholesterol from food has no significant effect on our own cholesterol.

The food label is the information chart of the nutrient and ingredients. Saturated fats, sodium and potassium should be included in the food label.

What are the harmful nutrients?

Nutrients are the essential components of the diet and are required for health but excess nutrients in the diet can cause certain health conditions and diseases if consumed in excess.

Saturated fats are bad fats that when consumed in excess can increase the cholesterol levels in the arteries of the circulatory system and can cause heart illness.

High potassium levels in the diet can cause heart attacks, stroke and can even lead to death.  Similarly high sodium content in the food will increase the blood pressure that can cause strokes and heart conditions.

Therefore, option 1. saturated fats, 2. sodium and option 3. potassium can cause certain health conditions.
