Both of these have benefits, and we will start with artificial. They have made those so they are low-calorie, or even no-calorie, they make it so people who are sensitive to sugar will be less sensitive, or not sensitive to that, and they are easy to find. The problems though, are worse in my opinion, they are complex chemicals, and can lead to health problems, and they put you at risk of many bad things. Natural sweeteners are better in my opinion, because they are easier on the metabolism, there are no added chemicals, and they are sweeter than artificial, plus they have added nutrients. I think that Natural is better.

The nutrient content of canned and frozen fruits and vegetables is comparable to fresh and, in some cases, it may be higher than fresh. Produce to be canned or frozen is processed immediately after harvesting, so nutrient losses after picking are minimal. The canning or freezing process may cause some loss of nutrients which can vary by nutrient. I found this in the is article.

In fact, many fruits and vegetables actually retain more nutrients when they're frozen than when they're eaten fresh.

It sounds like a cop out, but it depends. Sometimes they add sugar to the juice so it makes it less healthy than just eating an apple, but if its literally just fuit juice it can be healthier because its easy to drink lots of liquid vs eat lots of food so you can get more nutrients.'

Sugar and natural sweeteners provide our bodies with calories that are either used as energy or stored as fat. Artificial sweeteners do not provide calories and are either broken down into a number of compounds, or not broken down at all.

It does not, because threre are such things as healthy fats that are in things like avocados and fish that help your digestion, cell regrowth and absorb nutrients. Eating a LOT iof fat will make you fat though because reallhy eating a LOT of anything will mak you fat.

So if you were to compare artificial sweeteners and natural sweeteners, the best option might be none. Natural sweeteners have their advantages because they don't have as many chemicals or acids that will make you want more sweets. They still are equally as bad though because it still is sugar. Artificial sweeteners are preferred by some people but not all artificial sweeteners are good since some contain acids that some people can't have. In the end none of them are better but if it had to come to a conclusion it would probably be natural sweeteners. But in all reality sweeteners aren't that good for you.

No. When fruits are squeezed to make the juice, some of the nutrients will be lost, making it more unhealthy.

William

ewlisek1 — 2020-10-16 15:01:18 UTC

I think that is a false statement, because there may be added sugar to the juice, because some things have added some sugar to make it sweeter, but let's say it is 100% juice. Well, it does not have the fibers that would usually make the fruits healthy. Blended is okay, because that is the whole fruit, not just the juice.

Doctors consider monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat more “heart-healthy” fats. These are fats that are better choices for your diet. Foods that primarily contain these healthier fats tend to be liquid when they're at room temperature.

But it turns out, eating fat won't make you fat. In fact, research shows that low-fat diets don't seem to aid in weight loss or in reducing risk of disease compared to higher fat diets. And all those refined carbs you've been eating to replace that fat might be the real issue.

Always read the back for calories, sodium, carbs, and protein. Also look at the serving size. And never believe the front of the package. Some companies put the word natural on the front to look healthier. The word natrual has almost no meaning because just because its a thing that is in the enviorment naturally doesn't make it healthy. Cyanide is natural (cherry pits, apricot pits and mango pits) but it is DEFINITLEY not healthy,.

High Fructose Corn syrup is something that many candy producers put in their candy. It is bad because it puts an unnatural amount of fructose into your diet, and it increases obesity.

Sophia Mankaruse

2020-10-16 15:05:00 UTC

You may wonder isn't fat bad for you, but your body needs some fat from food. It's a major source of energy. It helps you absorb some vitamins and minerals. Fat is needed to build cell membranes, the vital exterior of each cell, and the sheaths surrounding nerves. It is essential for blood clotting, muscle movement, and inflammation. For long-term health, some fats are better than others. Good fats include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Bad ones include industrial-made trans fats. Saturated fats fall somewhere in the middle.

Fresh fruits and veggies are healthier than frozen ones because all the processing of the frozen ones causes them to lose their nutrients and the fresh fruits and veggies don't lose their nutrients because if you have a farm and you grow them then what you would do is just pick them off the plant and just wash them and they're good to eat.

False/depends. It could be both. Eating the actual fruit is more healthy than drinking the juice. If it is squeezed there are still some skin of the fruit and that makes it longer for your body to absorb the sugar.

Izzie S.

instentella1 — 2020-10-16 15:14:16 UTC

Natural foods are better because when processing the processed food sometimes it loses some of it nutrients and sometimes they add sugar or other chemicals or acids to make the food sweeter, saltier, or sometimes more sour. Natural foods don't have added calories or sugars and they can just get washed and checked and you can eat them.

Let's break the ice. Fat does not make you fat. This is a myth that has been going on for century but thousands of people still believe this simply because they hear the word fat. Many adults go on fat-free diets which is bad for themselves. The high carb low-fat diet increases your chance of becoming "obese". Eating healthy fats such as the fat in Avacado and fish such as salmon has many health benefits including strengthening your brain. These are called essential fats. Your body needs fat for certain things. Fat is one major source of energy without it you are depriving your body of very crucial foods. Fat carries proteins and carbohydrates. It is eating more calories than needed which makes you fat. Overall, fat does not make you fat!

fructose corn syrup is a very sugary syrup. Fructose is C6, H12, O6, which is the molecule for sugar. Fructose is a type of sugar found in fruit, that gives them their sweet juicy taste. The sugar molecule is so big and so many bonds connect each one that it burns a lot of calories to break each and every bond. That is what makes sugar bad for you, and in all, high fructose corn syrup.

Fruit juice seems to be as healthy as the fruit itself, jowever, this isn't the case. When someone squeezes the fruit, the pulp, which contains dietary fiber, does not come out with it. This is a very important nutrient for the human body. Also, when someone has fruit juice, they have lots of sugar with it. Without the pulp to regulate the amount of sugar digested, you drink the juice, the body absorbs the sugar quickly, and you feel hungry again! This is also ineffective.

False. Fruit Juice is not as healthy as actual fruit even if it is fresh. This is because the skin and pulp are being left behind. They are high in dietary fiber. Drinking fruit juice leads to a spike in blood sugar while eating a whole fruit does not. It also leaves you more hungry than eating a whole fruit would. Also, skin and pulp are high in vitamins and other nutrients but they are being left behind. Overall fruit juice is not nearly as healthy as eating the whole fruit.

Before we answer the question of why GMO's are bad for human consumption we have to ask if they really are. I found something interesting while researching this. Some of my resources claimed that GMO's aren't bad but then I came to one video. It literally had more hates than likes but I found it really useful. You see, GMO's are not bad but the opportunities they create are. For example most GMO's are resistant to weed killers so the use of weed killers is increased on most farms to kill the unwanted plants witch is bad for us but even worse for the environment. So there you have it. GMO's are fine but the things they lead to aren't.

Fruit juice is not as healthy as regular fruit. When you eat a whole fruit, you also eat the pulp and skin. Those are high in dietary fiber. The fiber makes the sugar in the fruit go to your blood less and slower. By doing this, your body can use the sugar as a direct energy source. Fruit juice on the other hand, has sugar that goes right to your blood, and your body, sensing that you have more sugar than you need, will make that into fat and glycogen. If you don't eat anything else after drinking the fruit juice, then you'll still be hungry.

Eating fat does not make you fat for a few reasons. First of all, in a study done those who did not eat fat were eating more sugars, and grain and there for gaining more weight. While the people who were eating fat had much lower to none weight growth. Fat is also good for you. It can help prevent blood clots which could save your life. It also helps you absorb minerals and vitamins

Fruit juice, though tasty and refreshing, is not as healthy as whole fruit. When a whole fruit is pressed or squeezed to make juice, some of the nutrients, most notably fiber and the water-soluble vitamins, are lost in the process.

1) Never believe what the front of the box says. It could say, "50% less sugar!" But in reality have 25% more sugar.
2) Always read the nutrition labels! This will tell you important information, like the ingredients.
3) Check the serving size. Also, check how many servings there are in a box.

Eating fat doesn't make you fat. Some fats that can be better for you are polyunsaturated fat, as well as monounsaturated fat. But too much of any fat can be bad for you.

Fresh produce is the best because it offers the most nutrients. The carbohydrates, protein, and fiber are not much different from frozen foods and fresh foods. Fresh foods might lose some beneficial factors for sitting out too long. Then the best place to buy produce is probably in a farmers market. But, frozen food is a good alternative if your fresh food is not as fresh anymore.

Natural food is better than processed food because chemicals are added to the processed to make it last longer. The worst type of processed food is processed meat it could cause cancer and diabetes, also most of the time the meat is mad with unhealthy animals that eat the animals that die early on.

The answer may be surprising, but fruit juices are no healthier than eating the actual fruit. However, when fruit is juiced, it loses some of its fiber which is healthy. If you want ot juice, blending may be a healthier option. You should also buy pasteurized juices at the store to minimize harmful bacteria. As of now, there is no evidence that juicing is less or more healthy than the actual fruit.

Sophia Joo

False. Fruit contains many vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals. However, whole fruits and vegetables also have healthy fiber, which is lost during most juicing.

1. Look at the serving size. If there are 100 calories in one serving and there are 3 servings but you drink the whole bottle, then you just had 300 calories!
2. Look at what fats there are. Trans fat isn't good for you at all, and it's best to keep you saturated fat and choesterol low.
3. To keep your salt intake low, choose products where the sodium is less or equal to the calories per serving.
4. Choose products that have 5 grams of fiber or at least 1 gram of fiber for every 10 grams of carbohydrate.
5. Stay away from foods that have any added sugars

HFCP is a sweetener made from corn starch. Once the corn starch becomes sugary the sugar is broken down into HFCP. The people who consume HFCP have a higher risk of inflammation, which can cause obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer which is potentially deadly.

Gmo's are bad because many GMO crops are created to withstand high levels of a weed-killing chemical called glyphosate, and glyphosate is a very harmful and can cause cancer. Also low-pesticide crops doctors have noted that their insect-killing proteins work by piercing holes in the insects’ guts. And since humans have the same receptor for the protein as insects do, some scientists have hypothesized that our guts may also be sustaining damage by eating these foods.

Highly processed foods are far from their natural state and often have sugar, unhealthy fats, sodium, and preservatives added to extend their shelf life. They are energy-dense (lots of calories) but not nutrient-dense and can lead to obesity and chronic disease over time. Which is why natural foods are so much because they have many more nutrients.

6. Check the calories from fat.
7. Check the sodium.
8. Check the types of fat.
9. Check the sugar.
10. Make sure that any grain is WHOLE grain, such as whole-wheat flour.

Artificial sweeteners can be linked to obesity and diabetes. This is not because they are bad though. They cause people to crave more food when eaten witch makes up for the calories they don't have. And in large doses they can be bad for your body. Just don't drink them to much though and you will be fine.

GMO's are bad for human consumption because they can make you sick, or have an allergic reaction because you didn't know that something was in it. Also GMO's aren't that bad, but some are made to withstand weed killer, which sounds great, but the weed killer isn't good for humans and who knows how many people now use it on GMO plants because they are "immune" to it.

Checking the sugar is important because we are only supposed to have about 27 grams of sugar. Also at the top is usually serving information then under that is calories and then nutrients and the daily value. For the daily value 5% and less is low and 20% and more is high.

~The "best used by" is how long tells how long the flavor or taste has until it isn't as appealing. The expiration date is usually after a month of the "best used by" date. The same goes with "Use by"
~Never believe the claims at the front of the box. Check the ingredients to make sure they are true.
~The Daily Value % (DV%)only goes to a 2,000 calories diet. If you eat less 2,000 calories, the DV% would go up, and vice versa.
~Check how much is one severing, so you can understand the labels more

First what is the difference from fresh and frozen is:
1. The carbohydrate, protein, fiber, and mineral content are "similar"
2. Fresh foods can lose up to half of its vitamins in storage and cooking.
The Verdict: Fresh produces are the better then frozen because the fresh produce is hand-picked. However, the frozen food isn't a bad alternative as it has the same vitamins. Frozen produce won't hurt you, but avoiding might be for the best.
