Organic Junk Food is Still Junk Food.

 

Just because a product is labeled “organic,” it doesn’t mean that it is healthy.

Some of these products are still processed foods high in calories, sugar, salt and added fats.

For example, organic cookies, chips, sodas and ice cream can all be purchased in supermarkets.

Despite being organic, these products are still unhealthy. So if you are trying to lose weight  or eat healthy, you may be harming yourself by eating these foods.

Organic product labels will often state that the ingredients are “natural” — for example, using raw cane sugar instead of plain sugar. However, sugar is still sugar.

The majority of the population consumes too much sugar already. To think it’s healthy to consume lots of organic sugar is simply wrong.

In simple terms, when you choose organic junk food, you may just be choosing a slightly higher-quality version of regular junk food.

However, since regulations generally ban the use of artificial food additives in these foods, buying organic is a good way to avoid a lot of the chemicals that are often added to conventional foods.
