Top 7 Most Harmful Products

We offer you a hit parade of the most harmful products, and maybe we will find the reason why it is so difficult to give them up.

"Why is everything harmful tasty?" - this catchphrase has become the motto of people who from time to time give themselves the word to switch to a healthy diet. And then they break down and return to their favorite chips and soda. They are really tasty. Or have we convinced ourselves of this? We offer you a hit parade of the most harmful products, and maybe we will find the reason why it is so difficult to give them up.

Junk food

Translated from English - "junk food". Or more precisely, empty calories. Fast food is usually ranked first among the harmful, but tasty. But here we include chips and buckets of popcorn that you buy at the cinema (popcorn itself is not so harmful, but the volume!), and croutons with nuts... This food is rich in fats and fast carbohydrates, but does not give any benefit. Beware of junk food - it's easy to buy, you can eat it everywhere (portion packages are placed so that you can eat everything at once), and as a result you will gain extra kilograms and a habit of grabbing on the go.

Processed meat products

 

That is, sausage and sausages. Of course, this is not the number 1 threat, but many of us simply forget that it is not worth admiring them. Let's say at least that sodium nitrite, which "fixes" the pleasant pink color of the sausage, can gradually turn into a carcinogen. And there are many such substances in processed meat. And there is a lot of salt.

Cheap cheeses

Unfortunately, real cheese is expensive. And the cheap cheeses that appeared in abundance on store shelves most likely contain margarine or relatively cheap palm oil. Palm oil itself is not dangerous for the body. But, unfortunately, most often it comes to production with violations of transportation conditions and oxidizes on the way. And such oil is harmful.

Sugar substitutes

 

Yes, lately we have been hearing more and more often about the dangers that sugar poses to the body, and now we are talking about the dangers of sugar substitutes. There is information that they can cause cancer. What to do if you can't do without sweets, and you don't want to eat sugar? Nutritionists recommend, if you already use a sugar substitute, to use stevia as the most natural product.

Ready-made sauces and instant mashed potatoes

We will mention only one aspect - a large number of synthetic and semi-synthetic thickeners in such products (E422, E461, E462). Studies of their effect on the body are ongoing, it is believed that they interfere with the digestion of food and assimilation of proteins.

Canned food

 

It cannot be said that canned foods are unequivocally harmful. It's just that usually they have undergone such processing that there is no use left in them. We advise you to use canned food only in extreme cases, when it is really necessary (travels, hikes), and in all other situations, cook it yourself.

Popsicles on sticks

No, we will not talk about damage to the figure. Although, of course, you should always remember this. Another problem is that lollipops on sticks of small size (not as well-known "rooster sticks", but smaller) stay in the oral cavity for a very long time. Creating ideal conditions for the development of caries. So it is better to buy a larger candy on a stick, because the child may not finish it all the way.
