I love fast foods, fruit juice, ice creams and bottled drinks. I eat alot of chocolate, cheese etc. I don't know if they are junk foods. Please, tell me the one to avoid, I don't want to die young please.

I think of junk food as food that has no nutritional value and a lot of things that are bad for you. An example is potato chips. There is no nutrition in them, but a lot of bad- salt, fat, calories.
So by that definition fruit juice, ice cream and cheese are Not junk food because they do offer some nutritional value, like vitamins, calcium and protein. Bottled drinks can be bad or not so bad, depending on what they are, but it is better to drink just plain water sometimes.
The best thing to do is to eat the bad things in moderation. Chocolate is not bad if you only eat a small amount, so don't feel like you have to give it up entirely if you want to be healthy.

Dark chocolate is actually good, in small amounts. It's ok to eat things that are unhealthy, as long as it's not much, and most of what you eat is healthy.
