Tells about products with a dubious composition, which at first glance seem useful.

Muesli

Many breakfast cereals that are marketed as healthy often contain added sugar, artificial flavors and colors. Some may even contain hydrogenated oils, which are sources of trans fats.

It’s important to read ingredient labels carefully and choose whole grain cereals with natural ingredients and minimal added sweeteners.

Fruit juices

While fruit juices may seem like a healthy choice, store-bought options mostly contain added sugars and preservatives. In addition, many are pasteurized. This process involves heating to kill bacteria, but also results in a loss of nutrients.

Granola bars

They often contain large amounts of added sugar and unhealthy fats. Some types even contain corn syrup, artificial sweeteners and hydrogenated oils that are dangerous for heart health.

Sweetened yogurts

Flavored yogurts can be deceiving. While yogurt on its own is generally a healthy food, its flavored versions include added sugar and artificial flavors instead of actual fruit content.

Salad Dressings

Store-bought salad dressings, especially creamy ones, are often high in added sugars, unhealthy fats (such as soy or canola oil) and artificial additives.

Instant noodles

Instant noodles are a convenient and popular choice for a quick snack, but they tend to have far from the best nutrient composition. The product often contains high amounts of salt, unhealthy fats (broth and seasoning packets) and flavor enhancers.

Crab Sticks

The main ingredient in crab sticks is surimi, a paste of finely chopped fish, usually pollock or a mixture of white fish. To maintain the consistency of the product, sodium pyrophosphate, a crystalline food additive, is often added to the surimi. This toxic substance can cause various digestive system problems.

Other harmful ingredients include: starch, egg whites, sugar, salt and flavorings that mimic the taste and texture of crab meat.
