Easy Diets

When I was much younger, I wondered why such foods as pizza and hamburgers were considered junk foods. Hamburgers usually consist of beef, bread, lettuce, tomato, and cheese if you'd like. Pizza is made up of bread, tomato sauce, cheese and possibly sausage or pepperoni. After all, it's known that bread is the staff of life, tomatoes are a highly nutritious vegetable, and cheese is a source of calcium and bone building nutrients. The added veggies like onion, tomato and lettuce are a bonus to health.


Now the light bulb has gone on. Delving and analyzing of the ingredients commonly used in so-called junk foods uncovers the prevalent anti-nutrient theme throughout - processing.

Processing affected foods:-

Cooking oils
Breakfast cereals
Artificial sweeteners
Agave syrup
Canned fruits and vegetables
Fruit juices
Bagels, breads, rolls, pasta, muffins
Deli/lunch meats
Milk, yogurt, dairy products
White rice
Cocoa, chocolate
Pancake mix
Peanut butter 
Tomato products, ketchup
Salad dressings
Mayonnaise
