We must be very careful when buying seemingly harmless foods for consumption. We should realize that some of them do not provide any benefits to our health, while others are toxic because of their content of dangerous chemicals.
These foods have a healthier alternative, but the truth is that most people don't know that some of them contain virtually no nutrition, while others are detrimental to health.
The substances in these products must not be consumed by humans.
Microwavable popcorn with butter
This type of popcorn uses the substance diacetyl, which is used like a substitute imitating butter. Diacetyl is a toxic chemical which can lead to lung damage.
As soon as experts proved the toxicity of this chemical, microwavable popcorn manufacturers began substituting it with other similar additives.
However, tests showed that after a certain period of time, these additives once again turned into diacetyl, which has a hazardous effect on the human body.
The safest solution, if you want to eat popcorn, is to make them yourself. This takes a bit more time but at least you will be sure that you're eating real butter.
White chocolate
In contrast to milk and dark chocolate, white chocolate contains no health benefits for people. The experts share that many people are tricked by the fact that chocolate is healthy but they forget that white chocolate contains no cocoa - a key ingredient, providing health benefits to the body.
White chocolate does contain 27% cocoa butter, which is the #1 enemy of a slender figure and a healthy way of life. Cocoa butter accumulates on blood vessel walls and constricts them.
This constriction causes an increase in blood pressure it and increases the risk of heart attack.
white chocolate contains 50% white sugar, 3 times more than that found in milk chocolate and 8 times more than the amount in dark chocolate. White sugar is one of the main culprits for weight gain and being overweight. The excessive consumption of white sugar also leads to diabetes.
