You constantly hear about how processed food is bad for your health and should be avoided. But what is it and why is it so bad?
In: Biology
Processing is altering from its natural state. And it’s not inherently bad. For example cooking food is a type of processing.
The problem tends to be that generally pre processed foods tend to be unhealthy. They add sugar and salt and shelf stable fats, they add preservatives and artifical flavors and colors, they often use worse ingredients to cut costs but still charge you more than if you made it at home with better ingredients. They extract just the components they want leaving behind some of the healthier fibers and vitamins.
