Bad Foods (4)

REFINED FOODS:

The modern diet contains many refined foods. Just take a walk in 1-Utama, Jusco or Giant Hypermarket. Look at all the cakes, bakeries, chocolates etc.

Refined foods are stripped of their original, natural nutrient content and fiber. The consumer is left with a more concentrated, unnatural sweet version of the original food.

Refined white flour and white sugar are the two most common examples of refined fooods. These ingredients are then used in a multitude of other 'foods'. Baked goods, chocolates, fast foods, and ready made meals to name a few. Moreover, they have preservatives and additives to give them a longer shelf life.
