WHO published a list of five types of food products dangerous for health

The World Health Organization has published a list of foods that have a negative impact on human health and increase the risk of developing various diseases:

Processed meat products

According to the WHO, sausages, smoked beef, sausages and similar processed meat products can cause cancer.
According to the organization, eating just 50 grams of such products a day increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer by 18%.

Trans fats and margarine
WHO advocates the complete elimination of trans fats from the diet. It is noted that about 5 billion people around the world are not protected from such harmful products. This increases the risk of heart disease and death. Especially margarine is one of the most harmful fats.

   Fried food
 Oil, which is repeatedly used in restaurants, is extremely harmful to health. In turn, fried food causes various dangerous diseases.

Sugar and its substitutes
 Higher than usual amount of sugar overloads the liver and increases the likelihood of developing a number of diseases. Therefore, according to WHO recommendations, daily sugar intake should not exceed 25 grams.

Canned and packaged foods
 Such foods contain harmful additives that extend their shelf life. For example, monosodium glutamate in potato chips poisons the body to the same extent as smoking.

 In addition, according to experts, there is a high probability that pieces of spices containing the same substance can cause serious health problems.
