Are Genetically Modified foods good for you?

Decades ago everything was natural and so was our food and food habits. We ate raw vegetables; fruits had a lot of water and drank 2 glasses of good milk. But science and technology bought about a drastic change in our lifestyle and food could not be left far behind. Our lifestyle became more hectic and refined foods that were easy to prepare and were cost effective too. A few processed products that have crept into daily life are-

One of the first mutant foods that entered our kitchens was processed cheese food products which contained emulsifiers, refined ingredients, preservatives and a little bit of cheese.

Originally people produced marshmallows from the marshmallow plant, but now we consume a sweet and unnatural gummy treat which contains a modified version of the marshmallow syrup, modified ingredients and gelatin which is unhealthy.

Jell-o might be your favorite dessert,, but did you ever wonder how it is prepared and what are the ingredients used to make this wonderful dessert. The next time you reach out for a jell-o remember that it contains gelatin that is derived from the collagen in the connective tissues and bones of cows and pigs. It is also rich in refined sugar which is another enemy of perfect health

People are aware of the health risks of mutant foods, but they are ignorant about the fact that these artificial foods are responsible for various disease. Preservatives like sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate are found in processed meats and also in hot dogs. They are mentioned as preservatives but they are known to cause cancer. Next time you pick a packaged tin, just take a good look at its ingredients and increase your knowledge on refined and unrefined food. Soft drinks and other foods contain ingredients which are not healthy for our body. Hydrogenated oils are cheap, act as preservatives and are extremely harmful to our body.

Processed foods taste good but they definitely aren’t all that good for you.
