5Diet food
Diet foods follow dangerous fads. For example, fats were once thought to be the sole cause of obesity and heart disease. Manufacturers of ‘health foods’ realized reducing the fat content in them made the tasteless appealing to customers. Hence, they started adding sugar to their products to ensure sales.
Apart from excess sugar and salt, extra additives and chemical-based flavors are also added to diet foods that are stripped of their natural fats and therefore their taste.
Alternative: Eat a well-balanced and nutrient-rich diet of anticarcinogenic food products. It can effectively combat weight gain when combined with regular exercise.
