What are processed foods and why are they bad?
In: 59
Processed meat is bad because the processes we mean by processed meat: salting, curing, smoking increase the risk of cancer. Cooking and cutting are processes too, but they are not considered when we talk about processed meat.
For processed plant food, what’s bad is anything that removes fiber. So juicing or removing fibers to get white floor or white rice and anything cooked from white flour. Having a lack of fiber increase cholesterol problems, colorectal cancer, constipation, and IBS. Most people don’t eat enough fiber because they don’t eat enough unprocessed plant food. Again, any process that doesn’t remove fibers, like cutting for example, aren’t considered in the word processed plant food.
