Fruit Juices
Fruit juice is always assumed to be healthy but most times, it’s actually just fruit flavored sugar water. There may not even be any actual fruit in there, it may just be water, sugar and some chemicals that taste like fruit. Fruit juice is like fruit with all of the good stuff taken out.
Whole fruits do contain some sugar, but it is bound within the fibrous cell walls, which slows down the release of the sugar into the bloodstream, but fruit juice is different, there’s no fiber, no chewing resistance and nothing to stop you from downing massive amounts of sugar in a matter of seconds. One cup of orange juice contains almost as much sugar as two whole oranges
Gluten Free Junk Foods
The major problem with Gluten free junk foods is that they’re usually made with highly refined carbohydrates, sugar and various chemicals.
According to one 2013 survey, a third of Americans are actively trying to reduce the amount of gluten in their diets. f you’re going to eliminate gluten, then choose foods that are naturally gluten free (like plants and animals)
“Organic” Processed Foods
Organic whole foods are healthy, but processed organic foods are not. A lot of organic but processed foods are made with unhealthy ingredients like sugar.
When you look at the ingredients labels for many of these organic, “healthy” meal replacement bars, crackers, snacks, etc then you see that they really aren’t that much different from other processed foods.
Sure, they might contain Organic Cane Sugar instead of regular sugar but organic sugar is just as bad as regular sugar. Your liver won’t tell the difference.
