It’s probably no surprise that the packaged food industry takes some serious shortcuts when it comes to the ingredients in their food.
Rather than deliver complex recipes with layers of flavor from delicious whole foods and herbs, they simply load the products with salt, sugar, and fat.
Yes, it tastes good, and it sure boosts dopamine production in your brain, but these foods are slowly killing your body.
Risks of consuming them regularly include obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and even cancer. Learn more here about the very worst offenders.
1. Canned Tomato Sauce
Spaghetti sauce in a can or jar is a really helpful shortcut in the kitchen, but it is typically loaded with sugar and sodium, not to mention chemical preservatives. It’s too bad, because tomatoes in general come loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants.
Making sauce at home can be a very rewarding experience, and it’s easy to make and can several batches at once. If that’s not your thing, read the labels at the store and experiment with brands that have less of the bad stuff. These efforts could stave off obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even tooth decay.
