11. Canned Fruits & Vegetables Contain Added Sugars
Not just the added sugars, but the quantity of salts is also somewhat higher in canned fruits and vegetables, and rightly so! After all, they have to be preserved for a longer time. To be precise, we’ll find out that canned vegetables have added salts while fruits have added sugars. The additional amounts of sugars and salts would make canned food relatively unhealthy for diabetics as compared to fresh food.
So, canned food might have similar nutritional value, but it’s not worth the risk for diabetics owing to the added sugars and salts. Better drop this convenience and opt for natural, fresh food products.
