Ultra-processed foods linked to GERD, Heart, Diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease

[ChaliHo]

Read a recipe for just about any food you like. Then read the ingredients of that same food that you buy in a store. For one thing, they put more sugar and salt in there as well as things like MSG to enhance the flavors partly because it isn't fresh so they need to bring out the dull flavors. Add coloring to make it look better. Add preservatives to make it last longer. Some are chemicals added to make it easier and cheaper for them to make it.

The absolute king of processed food is Velveeta. That's not cheese nor is those singles you buy. It even says "cheese product". Doesn't need refrigeration. You can microwave it, then cool it back to a solid several times and it doesn't change the properties much.

Blacks love Velveeta cheese or government cheese, this why a lot of them develop bowel issues.

The chit they give to poor people is insane, whats even crazier is people dont realize fast food is filled with so much sodium, persavtives and processed ingredients that will destroy your immune system, and digestive tract. The majority of working people eat fast food daily and develop GERd.

I see so many people when I go to buffets with TUMS on their table.

fun fact. It will never be much of an issue because there is too much money in processed food and people don't want to change their lifestyle nor do they want to believe they are doing anything wrong.

Watched a documentry called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead". Basically this guy and others go on a juice cleanse for 90 days and changes his life. Has others do it. Has a website and a lot of people it has changed their lives. However, lots of critics and haters and even medical doctors saying he's wrong. All these obese people with their medical problems but "that' has nothing to do with it".

I know someone that has a son that is 20 and has autism an no doubt some mental retardation. The kid has spent his entire life caved in his room watching TV and eating potato chips and other unhealty processed food. He won't eat anything he doesn't like. Anyways, 20 years old, has neurolgical problems now, and now he has to go to the cardiologist every week because he's having heart issues. He won't make it to 30 and I'd bet on that. I'd be surprised if he makes it to 25.

Hopefully that documentary is not vegan propoganda. I kind of do believe that having a high amount of "good" plant products is good for you and aging based on some studies and anti-aging experts (brad stanfield, david sinclair). even Joleen Diaz does juice cleanses and stays away from red meat for the most part.

However, when eating red meat I feel a lot stronger in the gym and have better gains, better body composition. it may be broscience, or may be the basis of the Vertical Diet

Can someone tell me what processed food are

Somewhat of a misnomer

In a technical sense a butcher separating muscle tissue from fat and trimming steaks to size is processing

OP is talking about foods that have been refined with additives to manipulate flavour, consistency, shelf life, cost of production etc

This particular market is wide, it's massively profitable and it's evil

[ChaliHo]

Its not realistic. What is realistic though is decreasing the amount of processed foods in your diet. Total elimination isnt even worth shooting for both for logistics reasons and your own sanity.

yeah nobody is going to eliminate it unless they are like Amish or something where they make their own foods, and don't use harsh additives and chemical alternative flavorings, preservatives and colors.

The goal is to limit them, like you can drink them sodas once in a while just not 4 times a day, I remember when DIET soda was popular in the 80s and 90s there was a guy who claims it increased the breast cancer in a lot of women, he couldn't prove it but he found a lot of his female patients were drinking Diet sodas multiple times a day thinking it was healthy. Most people are fooled by the marketing just because something is diet doesn mean its healthy I still dont get why they call it Diet Soda, misleading cause the chemicals they add can cause harm to your intestines and gut and cause inflammation if you drink it daily

This is relevant to me atm as I'm in the process of re-vamping my diet entirely after dealing with this kidney stone.

Look into oxalates. Major contributor to kidney stones.

[akferd]

Oh yea I forgot I used to put sea salt in that ACV mix too for a bit. I only use real sea salt or himalayan pink salt.

Crazy how nature has a fix for most things health related...

What's a good resource for all these diet tips you learned?

Eating Hamburger Helper right now, I love me some processed foods! This stuff probably would still be good in 50 years, or at least edible.

Fuark

Wish they made it more expensive as that would make it easier for people to cut down on it

Doesnt Australia have stricter rules against certain additives in foods? In USA they pretty much allow every toxic chemical preservative, dye, artificial flavoring etc lol they want us sick here

I think in Europe they dont allow high fructose corn syrup, and certain dyes or food colorings.

Warning on Apple Cider Vinegar, do not drink the industrial grade commercial ones that will burn a hole in your stomach its acidic, you have to drink the one with the mother like Braggs organic which still has the bacteria in it.

Also drink it with a straw to avoid tooth enamel damage

all vinegar is acidic boss, its an acid

your body treats high fructose corn syrup the same as any other sugar. the real impact of HFCS is that it was cheap and thus economic to add to everything, increasing sugar consumption. "natural" aka plain sugar isnt any better for you, its all bad for you
