3. Canned Tomatoes
Canned foods are often controversial among scientists and nutritionists. As a rule, canned food, in principle, is not very healthy, but special attention should be paid to canned tomatoes.
It is very convenient to use canned tomatoes for cooking or as a sauce, but few people think about the rice that these products represent.
The problem with canned tomatoes is the way they are packed and stored. All the necessary chemicals used during the process of canning products are very dangerous for a human organism. Cans used to store tomatoes are lined with bisphenol-A (BPA). The acidity of tomatoes causes this chemical to leach into the food. Studies show that BPA causes damage and gene mutation. The FDA also is concerned about it, so you really must minimize consumption of canned food. It is particularly important if you are young because BPA can impact fertility.
Excessive consumption of canned foods and BPA negatively affects body formation, genes, and even a person’s ability to reproduce.
One should use fresh tomatoes for cooking and making sauces. At the very least, you will protect yourself from a wide range of possible diseases and dramatic outcomes.
