\nProcessed foods are one of the main reasons people all over the world are getting fat and sick. We eat TONS of them as a nation and globally. But what are processed foods and why are they so dangerous?<\/p>\n

Many foods are processed in some way, peanuts are churned into natural peanut butter, gourmet cheeses are made from milk, and homemade bread is made from a recipe. But there\u2019s a difference between mechanical processing and chemical processing<\/a><\/p>\n

that creates so many dangerous junk foods like chips, candy, soda, fast food, and cookies. Processed foods have a host of added junk that\u2019s downright crappy for you. In fact, over time processed foods can make you fat and sick too.<\/p>\n

1. You can\u2019t stop. You won\u2019t stop.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Processed foods often contain sugar or worse, high fructose corn syrup. Both are a nasty use of calories that deplete your body of nutrients. But high fructose corn syrup actually makes so you can\u2019t stop eating. Consumption of high fructose corn syrup slows the release of leptin<\/a>, the hormone in your body that tells you when you\u2019re full. Basically, you can\u2019t stop munching until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

2. They contain dangerous preservatives.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If your fav foods have a shelf life that\u2019s a decade long, it\u2019s reason to be nervous. Often times, preservatives make this possible and some of the preservatives we depend on to keep fats and oils in junk food stable are also possible carcinogens. The preservative BHA for example<\/a>, \u201cis reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen\u201d. Yikes.<\/p>\n

3. Mindless eating.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Another way we get fat and sick from processed foods is because we dual binge on endless episodes of Orange is the New Black and a bag of Cheetos all at the same time. Mindless eating has no place in our diet because we\u2019re not paying attention to when we\u2019ve had enough. Step away from the Ding Dongs.<\/p>\n

4. Living in color isn\u2019t always such a good thing.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today only seven colors remain on the FDA\u2019s approved list<\/a> of artificial colors. Over the years we\u2019ve lost a good plenty to health fears and the few that remain are also mighty scary. Research is linking them to increased symptoms of ADHD and focus problems in our kids. What\u2019s more, caramel coloring (often added to our favorite brown-colored sodas) contains a known carcinogen called 4-methylimidazole<\/a> (4-Mel).<\/p>\n

5. Who knows what\u2019s in artificial flavors.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike artificial colors, which must be individually named on U.S. products, artificial flavors<\/a> are a blanket term for hundreds of chemical flavorings that are made to mimic flavors that occur in nature. Bottom line–if the label on that box of Fruit Loops says artificial flavors, who knows what\u2019s been added.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a big fan of processed foods, don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re not asking you to churn your own butter. Just choose high quality, natural processed foods without these additives like Barbara\u2019s<\/a> and Uncle Matt\u2019s<\/a>, for example.<\/em><\/p>\n
