In the past ten years or so, [the list of the top ten junk foods published by WHO] has become so popular that the concept of [junk food] has become so popular that many people classify foods they do not like as [junk food].
But in fact, the World Health Organization has officially issued a statement saying that [no such list has been published] and even does not recognize the concept of [junk food]. Why?
There is no so-called [junk food]
The value of food is to meet the nutritional needs of the human body. That is to say, any kind of food, as long as it can provide certain nutritional ingredients for the human body, without toxic and harmful ingredients, then it is valuable food. It cannot be called [junk] food.
Fried chicken, French fries, biscuits, ham sausage, desserts, instant noodles, etc. have suffered [junk food] for a long time, but in fact, these foods are rich in protein, fat or carbohydrate.
This is all the nutrients the human body needs!
In addition, fried chicken and ham sausage are rich in high-quality protein. Foods such as biscuits, ham sausage, instant noodles and canned food are easy to preserve and eat. For those people whose calories are not guaranteed, these foods are fine and high-quality nutrients. For the food supply in areas with backward logistics, this even has considerable [supplementary] advantages.
Only the [junk] way of eating
The concepts of [junk food] and [healthy food] appear because the human body’s demand for various nutritional ingredients is not the more the better, but each has a suitable range-any kind of nutritional ingredients, less is not good, more is not good.
With the development of human society today, most people have been able to obtain enough food. Thus, [nutritional balance] has become a new goal. Like fat and carbohydrate, we can easily obtain it, and it is easy to [go too far], and nutrition has become a burden, which is not conducive to health.
Don’t overcorrect, use your brain to judge
However, to say [XX is not junk food, so you can eat it at ease] is also an overcorrection and goes into another misunderstanding.
For many people, The nutrients provided by these foods are readily available in other diets, There would be no [shortage]. However, They often lack vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, etc. Eating more of them also affects eating those [foods rich in nutrients that are easy to lack], resulting in nutritional imbalance. They are not junk food, just saying that they are non-toxic and harmless and can be used as part of a reasonable diet, not that they are [safe to eat].
Remember: the rationality of diet structure is the decisive factor that determines whether food is healthy or garbage.
