unhealthiest
Least good physically
Unhealthiest is the superlative form of unhealthy—the least healthy among a group.
It describes whatever is most detrimental to physical or mental well-being: The unhealthiest item on the menu was the deep-fried cheesecake.
The word applies equally to habits, foods, relationships, or environments: That was the unhealthiest relationship I've ever been in.
