[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking up things online you get many different answers. Are there are real nutritionists on this board or food/diet experts? I'm sick of getting different answers looking stuff up online for these questions:

Is all canned food bad for you? Canned fruit without BPA lining. Canned chicken? I know FRESH is always better if you can swing it but is canned too processed and toxic to your health to eat?

Is all processed foods bad? How bad is boxed mac and cheese on an occasions? Should make your own with elbow pasta and cheese? Not eat that at all? Should only eat fresh dairy, meat, cheese, yogurt and fruits and vegetables. Eating only all non processed foods is nearly impossible.  [/quote]

Actually fresh is not always best. Some research shows that frozen produce is often more nutritious than fresh because it is flash frozen sooner after picking vs being picked, shipped and sitting around longer.

But overall I don't think anyone would argue that eating mostly highly processed foods is best. I also don't consider canned veggies or fruit to be highly processed as the are canned but don't contain a lot of other stuff. Canned chicken is just chicken that was cooked in a can. It is always best to eat food as close to it's original state at possible. But that doesn't mean doing so is always practical. All food can be part of a balanced diet. [/quote]

Isn't all canned food highly processed though?[/quote]

Like pears have lots of vitamin c yet when you read the lable on canned pears it shows the RDA of zero percent for vitamin c. So what happened to it? Just disappeared from the canning process?[/quote]

I’m not an expert, but I’m pretty sure the peel is the most nutritious part of the pear.  If you remove the peel (whether or not you can the pear before eating), I think you’ve not only lost most of the vitamin C, but probably most of the other nutrients as well.
