The Independent Buyers Association compiled rating of the most harmful foods... Only those products were taken as a basis, the regular use of which provokes cardiovascular, oncological, gastrointestinal diseases and diabetes mellitus.
1st place - "the most harmful food product"
Chips and "street" fast food... The very technology of making chips (hydrogenation of vegetable oil) leads to the formation of carcinogenic synthetic fats and other carcinogens (acrylamide, benzopyrene). It is carcinogens that provoke the appearance of cancer. All street fast food: khachapuri, french fries and other products that are trained in the "chip" technology (in boiling vegetable oil, used many times) pose an increased danger to the human body.
2nd place
Lemonade. When consumed in excess, lemonade disrupts metabolism (excess sugar), synthetic dyes often cause allergies, and carbon dioxide (bubbles) increases the acidity of gastric juice, which leads to gastritis.
3rd place
Cheap sausages. Most often they do not contain anything natural and are full of dyes, flavors and other synthetics, the safety of which has not yet been proven for health.
Smoked products. In smoked meat and fish, benzopyrene, one of the strongest carcinogens, often accumulates.
Ketchups and mayonnaises. Mayonnaise almost always contains carcinogenic synthetic trans fats, and ketchups with starch are synthetic additives whose complete safety for human health has not yet been proven.
4th place
Vegetables and fruitscontaminated with industrial and automotive emissions. In vegetables and fruits grown with the use of nitrates, or collected from industrial companies, highways, benzopyrene and other carcinogens are concentrated.
Foods with preservatives. Usually, preservatives contain monosodium glutamate - a substance toxic to the body that causes pain in the head, vascular cramps, metabolic disorders.
5th place
Margarines. Like chips, margarines typically contain carcinogenic trans fatty acids (TFAs).
Confectionery high in cheap fats and sugar. Regular consumption of these sweets is a path to metabolic disorders.
Cereals. For white bread and other cereals, people often have food intolerances.
6th place
Caffeine stimulants. These include coffee and energy drinks. A safe dose of coffee is 2-3 cups a day (we are talking about "real" coffee, not "canned" - ed.), Energy drinks should not be drunk daily either. Exceeding the daily intake leads to depletion of the nervous system.
Milk. There is almost no "natural" milk in bags on sale - all produced varieties go through a "powdery" stage of preparation, later they are diluted with water, therefore a "milk drink" is a product that can cause food intolerance.
7th place
Homemade canned food. Manufacturing often takes place in violation of technology, due to which canned food becomes the cause of fatal poisoning, for example, poisoning with botulinum toxin.
Ice cream. The known product often contains synthetic thickeners and flavors that can slow down the metabolism.
