Packed with loaded sugar:

Packaged food contains hidden sugar in the name of fructose, maltose or corn syrup.

Preservatives can cause health problems:

High in sodium:

Packaged food may contain excessive amounts of sodium which can cause high BP, bloating or water retention.

“Natural” doesn’t always mean healthy:

Labels are not always correct. Sometimes you might see organic or natural, but it may not be.

Consuming more additives:

Some packaged food may contain color enhancers, flavor boosters or stabilizers which your body doesn’t need

Natural value is low:

Processed food usually strips off many essential nutrients, what is left in the food is just empty calories.
