High Unhealthy Fat Content

Processed foods typically contain high amounts of
unhealthy fats.

One of the biggest problems is the inclusion of
hydrogenated fats, like refined seed and vegetable oil
in processed foods that makes them trans fats, the
worst type of fat for the human body as it is a major

culprit in increased risks for heart disease and high
cholesterol.

On the flip side, healthy real fats, like butter, olive oil
and coconut oil provide the body much needed

healthy fats and are considered whole versus their evil processed brethren.

High Sugar And High Fructose Corn Syrup Content

Many processed foods are full of added sugar and high fructose corn syrup that is oh so harmful
for your health.

Sugar is highly addictive, it wreaks havoc on blood
sugar levels and is an empty calorie food. When
consumed in excess it can cause feelings of euphoria
that mimic illegal drugs and so we become dependent
on that “high” and over indulge. The empty calories

from sugar also greatly contribute to weight gain and
obesity because many studies have shown that sugar
also wreaks havoc on metabolism.

Too much sugar can eventually lead to insulin
resistance, high cholesterol and also increased fat
accumulation in the liver and the belly and can lead to heart disease, and Type 2 Diabetes.
