The Drawbacks of Canned Fruits and Vegetables
With the cost and availability of fresh produce being a challenge for many, canned fruits and vegetables present a convenient and budget-friendly option. However, emerging research has begun to highlight some potential drawbacks of canned goods. Often, these products are laden with added sugars and salts as preservatives, extending their shelf life but detracting from their health benefits.
For individuals with diabetes, the addition of such preservatives can be particularly concerning, not to mention the presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in cans, which has been associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
