[Longevity Insider HQ logo] 7 "Healthy" Foods That Are Killing You - Part 1 Anil Bajnath, MD | February 01, 2022 | Baltimore, MD Dear Longevity Insider, Food can be a friend or foe. You see, the way we eat is changing. There are much less home-cooked meals. And even when folks do cook at home, the portion sizes are usually out of control. Poor nutrition can lead to things like diabetes, cardiovascular complications, and much more. It's one thing to dodge the greasy delivery pizza. You already know that's bad for your health. But what happens when you are faced with dangerous foods that masquerade around as healthy? Here's a quick list of foods to avoid. 7 Dangerous Foods Masquerading as "Healthy" Unhealthy Food #1: Meatless Meats. Many people eat meat, but they are looking for dietary alternatives which can be just as tasty. Meatless meats provide a good option if you transition from eating animal-based foods to plant-based options. Many of these substitutes contain soy protein, wheat, gluten, and other ingredients that replicate the look and taste of traditional meats. [Hamburger] The problem with this is that some of these products do not have reduced levels of saturated fat or sodium. When you compare the sodium intake of a meatless burger to a regular beef burger, you'll see that the meatless option has 10 times more. It is always best to check the label so you can make an informed decision when buying food products. Unhealthy Food #2: Fruit Juice. While fruit juice is healthy, the main issues are that it lacks fiber and has too much sugar. Some fruit juices are healthier than others, but, in general, they are not as good for you as fresh whole fruit. The main reason for this is because the whole fruit contains the fiber which will help to slow down digestion and reduce the amount of sugar that enters the bloodstream. [Smoothies] Some fruit juice can contain more added sugar than a carbonated drink. And because it lacks fiber, the glucose is absorbed very quickly. This causes an overload of insulin in the body. Consuming too much fruit juice is also thought to increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In children, it is thought that the high sugar content of fruit juice can lead to tooth decay because it promotes the growth of bacteria in the mouth. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that fruit juice routinely not be given to infants under 12 months of age since it offers no nutritional benefit to babies in this age group. If you want to know the remaining five unhealthy "healthy" foods, you'll have to wait until Thursday!
