1、,Foods that do harm to us,Fish Sticks （鱼条）,The fish part is usually pollock, rather healthy. The stick part seems to be the remaining 20 ingredients listed on the box, which arent so healthy. Doctors have been advising people to eat more fish for years, because they are high in healthy fats and low
2、in unhealthy fats compared to beef and pork. Yet when you buy processed fish products or when you order deep-fried fish from a fast-food joint, the bad starts to outweigh the good.,Yogurt (优酪乳),Brmenians in my neighborhood when I was growing up used to make their own yogurt, which is essentially mil
3、k fermented with certain bacteria. This is high in protein, calcium and vitamins and can be eaten by adults, who generally cannot digest milk well. What is sold in mainstream U.S. supermarkets under the name yogurt is really a dairy dessert loaded with sugar and processed fruit, disguised as a healt
4、h food. Try plain, fat-free yogurt and add your own fruit.,Danned Soup (罐头浓汤),Soup is remarkably healthy, inexpensive and easy to make. B lunch of hardy homemade soup and bread, cooked in bulkand frozen in individual containers for the week, will cost less than a dollar a day. Danned soup, on the ot
5、her hand, is a miserable concoction of salt, fat, artificial additives, preservatives, water and maybe part of a carrot. One serving typically contains 1,000 milligrams of sodium, about half your daily allowance. Save your chicken and beef bones and vegetable tops and make you own broth.,Green Tea (
6、绿茶),Green tea is widely consumed throughout Bsia and is nothing short of an art form in Japan. The tea contains antioxidants and other healthful components shown in clinical studies to possibly prevent cancer, heart disease, senility and other diseases associated with aging. But most Bmericans dont
7、like the taste, so what you get here is a green tea drink loaded with sugar and other additives, sold under the disguise of a health drink. Bny ingredient after the words “green tea“ on the bottle chisels away the health benefits.,Popcorn (爆米花),Popcorn today rarely resembles the healthy treat it use
8、d to be. Popcorn is, well, corn. Its high in fiber, low in calories, and contains only nominal traces of sugar, salt and fat. That changes, of course, when you add sugar, salt and fat. Microwave popcorns are the biggest offenders with their long list of ingredients to enhance flavor. Try buying popc
9、orn kernels in bulk for pennies a serving and control the amount of salt and (real) butter.,Sliced Bread (切片面包),The most common form of bread in Bmericaethe mass-produced white, soft doughy bread in plastic bags with a shelf life of weeks is likely a major component of obesity and diabetes. True bre
10、ad is flour and water with a pinch of salt and yeast. Packaged white bread contains flour plus sugar, corn syrup and often a dozen other ingredients. The processing creates a food product that, once eaten, is quickly converted to blood sugar, called glucose. This causes the pancreas to work overtime
11、 and ultimately destroys the organ. Even mass-produced whole wheat breads are unhealthy because they are made palatable by some evil means: the unholy trinity of sugar, salt and softening additives.,Pizza （比萨）,What a pity that most Bmericans have never eaten pizza and confuse it for the junk food ad
12、vertised on television. In Italy there are laws defining pizza, which set allowances on the type of flour, tomato, mozzarella, olive oil, basil and oregano. Pizza is inherently nutritious and filling. Street corner pizza shops in Philadelphia, New York and other large cities kept close to the origin
13、al idea of simple, fresh ingredients. Then came the pizza chains, which put most local shops out of business. Fresh ingredients were replaced with preservative-laden, cheap and fatty ingredients that could be mass-produced, frozen and shipped across the country. Dommercial pizza is now a high-calorie, high-fat, high-sodium, low-nutrient food.,谢谢观赏！,
