Eating a fruit is always better than drinking its juice because there is no fiber in the juice which means you are missing on the part that is good for the health. The packed fruit juices which we are drinking nowadays are high on sugar and low on protein and you can’t even be sure of the presence of fruit in these juices. In simple words, there are chances that we might be served with fruit flavored sugar juice in the package of fruit juice.

2Low-fat and fat-free processed food items

It is a common belief that saturated fat is bad for health; however, the low-fat and fat-free processed food items are even more harmful. When the fat is taken out from the food, the taste of the food becomes awful. Therefore, to make it tastier, the processed food manufacturers add huge amount of sugar which makes these foods highly harmful.

4Vegetable oils

We tend to eat vegetable oils such as canola oil, soybean oil and grape seed oil under the assumption that they are healthy because they reduce the blood cholesterol levels which they do but for short period only. However, these vegetable oils are not as healthy as we think because they are mostly genetically modified and partially hydrogenated and can cause various diseases including heart diseases and cancer.
