The Negative Effects Of Junk Food

JUNK FOOD disguised as HEALTH FOOD

For decades now, the human race has been plagued by all sorts of modern diseases that now more than ever can be gained through an unhealthy diet. The problem is that a lot of junk food disguised as health food is being commercialized. One prime example can be seen in cranberry juice. The issue in this example, as in many others, lies is the unwritten levels of added sugar on the package. Cranberry is a natural sour fruit.
