    Nowadays, many big food factories are good at marketing Even unhealthy food can be "packaged" healthily Unfortunately, most people can't escape these deceptive words and packages Here is a common word game for food manufacturers 1 "Pure natural" is not natural: food labeling "pure natural" sounds healthy, but even the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes that so-called nature is hard to define, that is, there is no legal binding force to control Many products marked as natural actually contain ingredients such as genetic modification, processed sugar and flour Don't forget to check the ingredients list carefully before purchasing 2 Whole grains are still grains, which will still cause inflammation: many foods will also claim to be "made from whole grains", which sounds healthier than refined flour; that's right, but many whole grains (including whole grains) are still pro-inflammatory foods, which will cause the accumulation of abdominal fat Even in whole grains, high carbohydrate content and high glycemic index still have adverse effects on the body 3 diet foods damage your health and make you fat: some foods with "zero calorie" and "light food" on the crown seem to make people feel healthier, but in fact, these foods are often full of artificial sweeteners with neurotoxicity such as aspartame or sucralose, etc., and can not really achieve the purpose of weight loss, which will make you fat 4 It's not good for your cells to add "fresh-keeping" preservatives to food: it's another "sound very healthy" word, but in fact, processed food preservatives such as sodium potassium phenylate and sulfur dioxide have been proved to make cells suffocate due to lack of oxygen Anti caking agents, such as sodium aluminosilicate and soybean lecithin, are also harmful to health The former will damage mitochondria, damage important organs and nerve functions, while the latter will block the proper absorption and transportation of oxygen.
