4 Foods that Experts Told You to Avoid

I have found some interesting information on the webs about foods that may cause problems to our health. Of course, we can find these foods in our daily life and they are not banned by any means. However, when I read the reasons given by the experts why they are not so good, I may have to think twice next time I go near these foods in the supermarket. Here are some of the foods that you should avoid:

1 Canned Tomatoes:

The experts say that the resin linings of tin cans have bisphenol-A which is a synthetic estrogen. It can cause problems in reproductive system. Also, it involves in heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The high acidity in tomatoes accelerates the release of this agent. The impact may be more violent in younger population.  So, if you want tomatoes, go for a fresh one. Or you can choose one in a glass bottle. It is safer according to the experts.

2 Corn-fed Beef

Cattle are supposed to eat grass not grains. However, the modern farmers normally feed their farm animals with corn and soybeans. The process makes the animals fat and grow faster. As a result, there is less nutrition for the beef eaters. Researches show that corn-fed beef contains fewer vitamins and minerals including have some fatty acids which are linked to heart disease. Therefore, eat grass-fed beef. It is a more premium price item that can be found in specialty grocery stores or famers’ market.

3 Microwave Popcorn

The lining of the popcorn bag include PerfluoroOctanoic acid. It is an agent which is linked to the infertility in humans. In animal, the agent can cause liver, testicular and pancreatic cancer. Studies show that microwave makes the chemicals go to the popcorn. The chemicals can be accumulated and cause problems in the long run.  The manufacturers have plan to stop this but it takes years to phase out the product. So, why don’t we just avoid it and go to our conventional popcorn.

4 Potatoes

Normally, rooted plants absorb a lot of pesticide, herbicide and fungicide that wind up in soil. Potatoes are also in this category.  They are treated with fungicide in the growing season, with herbicides before harvesting and with pesticide when they are dug up and kept. So, they are dangerous. To avoid them, eat the organic potatoes or something else.

The above four foods are what you should avoid from the experts. They say that they would not eat these foods themselves. If the experts do not eat, I think we should avoid them as well.
