Unfortunate Truth About Canned Food
We are always running, aren't we? We are running for jobs, and running from one job to another in search of a better career prospect. In such a scenario, who has time to cook an elaborate meal, anyway? So, we most often rely on a quick-fix meal.
Something which is quicker, tastier, and less time consuming than a usual regular meal. Canned food often becomes our best friend in such a scenario. Midnight hunger?
Just pop open a jar of canned soup. Running late to college and have no time to get breakfast? Just grab those canned nuts. Making a sandwich? Canned sausages are often the best choice.
However, seldom do we stop to notice the health hazards that this canned food item is causing. These food items are often marked as safe, but they are quite the opposite actually.
Today, we at Boldsky will tell you the unfortunate truth or facts about canned foods. A truth, which we all should notice for our own health benefits.
Loaded With BPA
Bisphenol or BPA, as it commonly known, is present in canned food items. Most canned food items have a plastic coating inside the cans to keep food safe and fresh, and this plastic coating contains BPA.
This man-made chemical keeps the food fresh, but at the cost of hampering your health. BPA is known to be responsible for loads of health concerns such as neurological disorders, reproductive disorders, type-2 diabetes, cancer risk, obesity and a host of other fatal diseases.
BPA increases even more in case of items such as canned tomatoes, which increases the acidity of the product and makes it more poisonous.
The
Direct
Link
Between
Processed
Meat
And
Cancer.
According
to
a
study
by
the
World
Cancer
Research
Fund,
there
is
a
direct
link
between
the
processed,
canned
meat
and
cancer.
Processed meat should be avoided at all costs, as they are made with meat that is injected with antibiotics, sodium nitrate and hormones.
Copious
Amount
Of
Preservatives
It
is
heartbreaking
for
the
lovers
of
canned
food
to
know
that
their
favourite
food
is
loaded
with
different
types
of
preservatives
in
copious
amounts.
One looks at the container, and you wouldn’t even realise that the friendly and almost sounding ingredient can actually be a pesticide. Needless to say, these are also extremely harmful for the body.
An extensive amount of salt is also added to the product to prevent it from decaying. These preservatives can create havoc in elderly, children, and the ones already suffering from the disease.
Aluminium
Contamination
Did
you
know
that
the
containers
used
for
packaging
soups,
tomatoes
and
beer
are
contaminated
with
aluminium?
Most
food
items
are
first
packed
in
the
aluminium
cans
and
then
cooked
to
retain
their
freshness.
But in the process, food items end up absorbing this aluminium content. Some may argue that plastic lining inside the can helps in protecting it from the aluminium contamination.
But, the truth is, it releases aluminium radicals when heated and packed. Unfortunately, being lightweight and economical, they continue to be used in the packaging of the products.
Continuous accumulation of aluminium in the body is even known to cause Alzheimer’s disease in the consumers.
Low-quality
Foods
Let’s
admit
that
the
food
and
products
that
aren’t
deemed
high-quality
are
packaged
in
cans,
cooked
and
even
sold
after
a
year
or
two
of
being
packed.
If you are seeking high-quality and fresh food items then canned food is something that you should totally stay away from.
