FOOD AND DIET Chemically processed foods tend to be high in sugar, artificial ingredients, refined carbohydrates, and trans fats. Because of this, they are a major contributor to obesity and illness around the world. Below, we look at seven reasons why processed foods can increase the risk to a person’s health. Added sugar: Processed foods tend to contain added sugar. Regularly consuming an excess of added sugar can lead to compulsive overeating. Artificial ingredients: Highly processed foods often contain the following types of chemicals: preservatives, which keep the food from going bad quickly; artificial coloring; chemical flavoring. Refined carbohydrates: Because refined carbs cause frequent increases and decreases in blood sugar, consuming them is linked with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Trans fats: Ultra-processed foods are often high in unhealthful, cheap fats. Eating trans fats is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. o to be high in something = to contain a large amount of ...: chứa nhiều thứ gì o a major contributor to something: 1 nguyên nhân chính gây ra vấn đề gì o to consume /kənˈsuːm/ (v) = to eat or drink something: tiêu thụ o excess /ɪkˈses/ (n) = more than is necessary: dư thừa o compulsive overeating: ăn uống vô độ (đây là 1 rối loạn ăn uống nghiêm trọng) o an artificial ingredient = an ingredient which is artificial or man- made: thành phần nhân tạo o to keep ... from ... = to prevent ... from doing something: giữ cho ... khỏi bị ... o refined carbohydrate = also known as simple carbs or processed carbs: carb tinh chế o trans fat /ˈtrænz fæt/ (n) = a form of unsaturated fat associated with a number of negative health effects: chất béo dạng trans o stroke /strəʊk/ (n): a sudden serious illness when a blood vessel (= tube) in the brain bursts (= breaks open) or is blocked, which can cause death or the loss of the ability to move or to speak clearly: đột quỵ Source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318630 SYNONYMS o chemically processed foods » highly processed foods » ultra-processed foods o is linked with ... » is associated with ...
