Dear MEL Topic Readers,

How processed food drives diet-related diseases

It’s not just the calorie that you should worry about for a healthy diet but what is added to your food. Basically, all food is inherently good for you. For example, a whole apple is of course a good fruit and keeps the doctor away. Even if the fruit is sliced, it is still good food. But when an apple is processed and added other ingredients like applesauce, it loses the original nutritious benefits. And if the matrix of the original food is destroyed, processed, and added more ingredients to make it a palatable item like an apple pie, only the flavor and ingredients remain like sugar and butter. Indeed, when food is processed, unhealthy ingredients, such as sugar, salt, and fat are added while the inherent nutrients like vitamins and fiber are lost. A study found that liver fat was reduced substantially when sugar is substituted by starch while maintaining the same calorie intake. Experts suggest we eat food with no labels. If there is, you may want to avoid ones whose label doesn’t include sugar among the top three ingredients.

Enjoy reading the article and learn about how unhealthy processed food is.
