Question

Junk food can be so delicious. Most people like this kind of food. It's tasty, sweet or salty. Who can deny to this temptation? Well, the real question is is junk food really bad for you?

We have all been there when you grab a bag of your favorite snack and you start chomping them down you chomp and you chomp again and suddenly what? The bag is empty. Why junk food can be so completely addictive? Because well, it was designed that way.

Junk food companies use some pretty sophisticated science-based techniques to keep us chowing down all junk food. And we are trying to hit what they call the Bliss point for a perfect flavor.

That isn't too much or too little and keeps you always wanting more.

The main way that companies manage to keep that flavorful Bliss point is by adding one specific ingredient sugar. They add it to all sorts of foods you might not expect.
White bread, salad dressing, ketchup, barbecue sauce, orange juice, granola bars, and spaghetti sauce just to name a few.

Every year people become more and more aware how bad ingredients like sugar, salt and fat can be when you have too much of it. As a result junk food companies have tried to use less of the bad ingredients that people are looking out for and replace them with other bad but not quite as bad options to make up for the taste.

The process of replacing sugar, salt and fat with other ingredients lets junk food companies sell their snacks as low sugar or low sodium. Making people think that they might be choosing a healthier option. So is junk food actually bad for you? Well, if you're eating lots of it every day, yes it is. And remember if it delicious salty or sugary snack sells itself as low salt or low sugar that doesn't mean it's healthy.

And now you know that junk food really is bad for you no matter how good it tastes.
