Processed foods have been altered from their natural state for safety reasons and for convenience. For example , do you know hotdog ? I think you know that and already tried that . That is processed foods !
We tend to think of processed foods are bad ! but it turns out that many of processed foods aren't unhealthy , for example , milk would be considered a processed food because it is pasteurized to kill bacteria and homogenized to keep fats from separating. While some people prefer to drink raw milk, most of us should consume the "processed" version we find in our grocery stores.
Of course, there are a lot of processed foods that aren't good for you. Many processed foods are made with trans fats, saturated fats, and large amounts of sodium and sugar. These types of foods should be avoided, or at least eaten sparingly.
