The Impact of Misleading Food Marketing
Many foods marketed as healthy may not actually be beneficial for your health. For example, diet sodas are often perceived as better alternatives to sugary beverages, yet they can harm gut health and negatively affect metabolism. Similarly, fruit juices, which many people consume without regard for their high sugar content, can lead to sugar overload; a single glass can contain the equivalent sugar of several whole fruits. Likewise, plant-based processed foods may appear healthier, but their ultra-processed nature means they can actually compromise your overall health.
