What some foods or condiments that appear harmless or even seem healthy, but are actually not good for your health? I used to think that ketchup or yakult were healthy, but realized that ketchup has high fructose corn syrup, and that yakult has high sugar content. Is it true that 1000 years ago, the average sugar consumption was less than 50 grams a year? How do you stay healthy while also enjoying dessert occasionally?
These texts discuss nutrition and deceptive marketing practices in the food industry. Several sources highlight the importance of maintaining balanced blood sugar and identify both healthy and unhealthy food choices, including a list of beneficial and detrimental condiments. Another source specifically addresses "deceptively unhealthy foods" which are marketed as healthy despite being high in fat or sugar, often targeting parents and children through various tactics like misleading labels and package design. The texts also critique the high sugar content found in many yogurts and juice products, even those marketed as beneficial, and explore the debate around the health effects of high fructose corn syrup compared to other sweeteners, noting that limiting all added caloric sweeteners is generally recommended.
