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
processed is anything that you didnt pull from the ground and put in your mouth – even if you buy a pack of strawberries they’ve gone through a *process* of being cleaned and weighed and packaged, whole wheat flour goes through a process of milling, pasta is of course processed to get consistent shapes and thickness
what people usually mean when they say “processed food” is ready made ingredients (can of diced tomatoes) or already prepared meals (frozen lasagna) because they tend to have added sugars, salt, and fat, which are the things that aren’t good for your health when you have them in excess
