Dietitians like lists – “the most harmful”, “most nutritious foods” … Below we offer you one of these lists. It was published recently in the British newspaper “Times” and it shows a summary of extremely large number of studies on the benefits and dangers of various foods.
Despite ongoing disputes about the quality of certain food products and beverages, however opinions were united around the fact that some of them can be defined as “one of the main reasons for the development of cardiovascular, oncology, gastrointestinal diseases and diabetes “:
Potato chips
The technology of production of chips leads to the formation of carcinogenic synthetic oil (and other carcinogens). There is hardly need reminding that carcinogens trigger cancer.
Carbonated drinks
With excessive use prejudice metabolism (due to excess sugar), synthetic dyes often cause allergies, and carbon (bubbles) causing acidification of gastric juice (that’s what gives rise to gastritis).
Fast food
Under this common term should be understood as French fries, hamburgers and more. Generally everything is cooked in oil that is used many times. That is why it formed carcinogens.
Cheap sausages
Very often they contain almost no meat, but are filled with colors, fragrances and other synthetics, whose safety is not always fully proven.
Smoked products
In the smoked meat and fish often accumulates benzopiren – one of the strongest carcinogens.
Ketchup and mayonnaise
Poor mayonnaise contains synthetic trans fats, and in ketchup – synthetic additives.
Fruits and vegetables grown in contaminated areas
In fruits and vegetables grown using nitrate or near industrial plants, highways, etc., focus benzopiren and other carcinogens.
Products with preserve supplements
Most often used as a preservative sodium glutamate – a substance whose excess in the body causes headache, spasms of the vessels and impaired metabolism.
Margarine
Often, under this name products offered spreads, which have nothing to do with real margarine that is made only from vegetable oils. Instead, many products are used transgenic fat.
Sweets with high sugar and fat
Regular use of such products is a prerequisite for breach of normal metabolism.
Cereals
Only harmful for people suffering from food intolerance to white bread and / or other cereals.
Caffeine stimulants
They include mostly coffee and energy drinks. Dose is 2-3 cups of coffee a day, and as far as energy drinks, they should drink each day. Exceeding the dosage drink containing caffeine resulted in overloading of the nervous system.
Milk
Just like cereals, the negative effects can only hit people intolerant to this type of product.
Home canned foods
Often, due to improper preparation, they cause serious poisoning – a particularly dangerous example botulotoxin.
Ice cream
Contains synthetic thickeners and flavoring, which in large doses tend to slow down the metabolism.
