Low-Calorie Foods May Be Just as Unhealthy




The Daily Mail conducted a recent study which has found that companies that make low-calorie foods usually cut down calorie by adding other unhealthy ingredients. For example Hellmann's Mayonnaise comes in three different brands Regular, Light and The Lightest. They found that whereas the lighter one have less fat content, they are add more sugar and salt to remain the good taste. Hellmann is lighter than Light brand has almost twice double salt than that original version, and three times more sugar. This is look like a ordinary trend. Another example is Philadelphia Light Soft Cream Cheese which has only half fat compare to the original cream cheese which has almost 30 percent more sugar."Light and similar terms are weasel words for when a product doesn’t match official terminology for a reduced fat or low fat food. Many people think they are low in calories but this is often not the case," Catherine Collins, the dietitian at St George's Hospital in London said. In addition another study has found that a fat-free diet cannot reduce the risk of heart disease, breast cancer or stroke, so people who want to be healthier should eat more fruit and vegetable according to The University of Maryland's Medical Center.


I do agree with this the researches, it hard to believe that those delicious and full of fat food have other versions that healthier but still have the same taste. I think we should avoid those low-fat daily foods because they only make you to consume it more.
