“If you see “fat-free” or “low-fat” on the label, know that it is a highly processed product with a lot of added sugar,” warned the specialist on his Telegram channel.
According to the doctor, fat-free food doesn’t taste very good, so the manufacturer adds sugar, and often it’s a huge amount, Gadziyan noted.
A similar story with store-bought salad dressings. Such a “sauce” will nullify all the benefits of vegetables. “To make vegetables even tastier, we often add various dressings that contain chemical additives, sugar, vegetable oil, and trans fats,” the doctor said.
You should also be careful with fruit juices (many of them are just fruit-flavoured sugar water), breakfast cereals (they contain a lot of refined grains, sugar, and chemicals), as well as low-carb bars. . The latter can generously put refined ingredients and chemical additives.
“As you can see, not everything that says healthy lifestyle works. Do not fall under the influence of publicity”, urged the specialist.
