Here’s a brief summary of the good, the bad and the ugly to watch out for when consuming processed foods.

Foods such as packaged chips, crackers, wheat products containing harmful oils, soy, corn, artificial sweeteners, sugars, salts, as most other junk food, maintain the slowest spoil rates while offering little if any nutritional value along with the highest risk in terms of promoting disease. These are the money makers for the food and disease industries. On the other hand, foods with the highest nutrient den
