Nutritionist assessed the effect of chips and soda on health

Nutritionist Roman Pristansky told whether chips and soda are really so dangerous.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, April 8, the expert noted that demonizing all processed food is a mistake: modern technologies allow food to be stored for a long time, and this is not always associated with harmful additives. As an example, he cited the freezing of meat, explaining that low temperatures themselves act as a preservative and destroy pathogenic microbes.

According to him, the volume of consumption is of key importance. He explained that the problem with fast food is its high calorie content with low nutritional value: for example, chips are quickly digested and do not provide long-term saturation due to the lack of protein, whereas full-fledged dishes with a balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates saturate for a long time.

The expert also stressed that products such as instant noodles and soda are not dangerous in themselves, but their regular and excessive consumption can lead to health problems, including obesity.

On April 7, nutritionist Daria Rusakova said that the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle can take painful forms and harm the psyche. According to her, the first sign of the problem is a pathological obsession with weight, RT reports.

On April 3, nutritionist Yuri Brabechan said that store-bought chips can be replaced with homemade pita bread. If you want something salty and crunchy, then instead of high-calorie snacks, you can choose a product made from nori seaweed. A small package weighing five grams contains about 25-30 calories, notes 360.ru .

In March, nutritionist Elena Solomatina noted that GOST is needed in order to make chips safer. Meanwhile, it won't make him any more useful, according to the website. kp.ru .

In January, nutritionist Mariyat Mukhina, in an interview with NSN, called for eating chips no more than once a month. According to her, chips are dangerous not only for carcinogens, but also for various addictive glutamate additives, therefore it is better to abandon them in the daily diet.
