Read: There are many foods in people's eyes are the symbol of health food, such as yogurt, fruit juice and so on. However, you are consuming these foods in, really as the business said that nutrition?

1, muesli

31% of American families, breakfast will choose a bowl of milk muesli. However, many of these cereals are not very nutritious, even those labeled "healthy". For example, like honey oatmeal rings and Grape McVeigh, this kind of oatmeal, its sugar content is comparable to fruity pebbles.

In order to make beautiful cornflakes, manufacturers have inadvertently destroyed many of the original vitamins and minerals, and in order to make up for the missing nutrients, manufacturers have added some synthetic nutrients to the porridge. But even so, the nutritional value of muesli is no match for natural whole grains.

2, skim or low-fat milk

Compared to low-fat milk, whole milk has a higher nutritional value. Although skim and low-fat milk are lower in calories, whole milk is richer in saturated and monounsaturated fats, which can make you feel fuller while also improving body composition and boosting metabolism. Since skim milk and low-fat milk do not contain fat, they do not contain as much fat-soluble vitamins such as VA, VD, VE and VK as whole milk.

What's worse: Because milk doesn't look much like milk after it's skimmed, in order to maintain the original taste, manufacturers will add some milk powder to the skimmed milk; this process will make the skimmed milk contain oxidized cholesterol, which is far more harmful to the human blood vessels than regular cholesterol! In addition, so far, there is no relevant research to confirm that low-fat / skim milk, healthier than whole milk. 2012, even researchers found that children who often drink low-fat milk and skim milk, than drinking whole milk children obesity rate is higher.

3. Butter

Holding on to the stigma that fat makes you fat, more and more people are favoring blended oils because people don't like fat, and zero-fat cooking oils and low-fat sauces naturally sell better. As a result, distributors are heavily promoting these products.

Unfortunately, many of the blended oils peddled in shopping malls are poor-quality oils that have been hydrogenated by their manufacturers, which contain trans fats to ensure the shelf life and color of hydrogenated oils at room temperature. However, hydrogenated oils are not only indigestible but also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Additionally, hydrogenated oils are continuously decolorized and artificially flavored until you are convinced that it's still a piece of butter.

4. Vegetable oil

The vegetable oils we eat every day, such as canola, corn, and grapeseed oil, are all derived from chemicals. Manufacturers first press plant seeds at high temperatures and then pour them into containers to refine vegetable oils. At a later stage of refining, they inject other chemicals into the oil to improve the color and smell of the product. This complex process turns the original vegetable oil into an unstable fat called polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA).

These fats are not easily digested by the human body because human cells are composed primarily of saturated and monounsaturated fats. In addition, the Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid content of these vegetable oils is much greater than the Omega-3 content, putting the body at increased risk of inflammation, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.

5, protein bars

Many protein bars are actually candy bars in disguise. They are full of cane sugar, high fructose corn syrup and contain trans fats and artificial sweeteners. But the protein content of protein bars is still commendable, it's just that there are so many other ingredients added!

6. Sports Drinks

Distributors tout sports drinks as the ultimate thirst-quenching beverage, and even better holy water than water, but researchers beg to differ! A study by the University of Oxford in the UK found that the vast majority of sports products that claim to enhance performance or aid in physical recovery, including: sports drinks, are actually not scientifically supported.

Of all the websites that featured such products, 50% did not make any scientific claims for their dodgy claims, and half of the remaining 50% were not rigorous enough in their presentation of their arguments. In all of these sites, the researchers found no systematic explanation and, as a whole, the claims were overstated. In terms of the nutritional content of sports drinks alone, not only are they full of electrolytes, but they also contain enough sugar and calories to discourage people from drinking them.

7. Wheat Bread

Not all wheat bread is made from whole, unprocessed natural grains. For example, even those wheat breads labeled as "mixed" or "seven-grain" can contain refined flour.

It's not uncommon for "whole wheat" or "100% natural" breads to be made from natural, whole grains. To make matters worse, many breads have hydrogenated vegetable oils, artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, and preservatives added to a greater or lesser extent to extend the shelf life of the food, and even food coloring in some breads.

So, don't blindly trust those bluffing labels on food packages, and carefully check the "ingredient list" on the package to make sure you're buying bread whose main ingredient is "whole grain" or "whole wheat". "

8. Anything with egg whites only

Don't worry about the cholesterol content.

First of all, as an essential ingredient in a healthy, balanced diet, eggs are 100% beneficial and harmless to human health.

Secondly, the human liver produces far more cholesterol than you take in every day (about 1 to 2 grams).

Again, there's not much of a correlation between cholesterol intake from the diet and cholesterol in human blood!

Researchers studied 136,905 patients who were hospitalized for heart disease between 2000 and 2006, and found that nearly three quarters of them did not have cholesterol levels high enough to be at risk for heart disease. Finally, cholesterol produces testosterone, which promotes muscle growth.

In addition, egg yolks contain fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), choline (which has many health benefits and is an essential nutrient for the human body), and more than half of the protein in the whole egg!

9, fruit juice

Although fruit juice contains some vitamins, but the calorie and sugar content, scary high! For example: an 8-ounce glass of grape juice has about 170 calories, which also contains 42g of carbohydrates and 40g of sucrose. (That's more calories and sugar than a 12-ounce glass of Coke!)

Don't expect this empty calorie and sugar drink to help you build lean muscle. Even juices labeled as "all-natural" can contain high-fructose corn syrup, as well as additives.

10. Any 'zero-fat' food

The idea that fat makes you fat is so popular that zero-fat foods have come and gone. In fact, it is not the fat that makes people fat, but the irrational dietary structure and insufficient exercise.

Fat can promote from the brain to metabolic function, a number of human organs, fat loss body. If you do not consume fat, the ratio of macro-nutrients in the human body (carbohydrates/protein/fat) is difficult to balance. Because most of the calories needed by the body come from carbohydrates; if the body fat is insufficient, the body's macro-nutrient ratio will be imbalanced, and then easy to make the body cells to take more fat.

In addition, in order to make food fat-free, businesses often add trans fats and artificial sweeteners, which leads to many health risks.

11, most yogurts

Many low-fat and nonfat yogurts contain high-fructose corn syrup, sucrose, and starch. Some yogurts contain as much sugar as a chocolate bar, and many have added artificial sweeteners, which can cause the body's insulin levels to spike. In addition, try not to buy fruit-flavored yogurt, in which the pulp is either soaked in sugar juice, or sucked up the concentrated fruit juice. When buying, it's best to pick plain yogurt, which you can mix in with fresh fruit yourself.

12, dried fruit

Don't just think of the tempting taste of dried fruit, in fact, it is candy containing fiber. In order to make the shelf life extended, dried fruit added a lot of sugar and chemicals. In addition, because the water in dried fruit is drained, each bite of dried fruit has many more calories than the original fruit.
