Fewer processed foods might improve your health CHAPEL HILL Americans today eat only half as many fresh fruits and vegetables as their grandparents did, while highly processed foods make up an increasing proportion of their diets. The question is, does it make any difference? Is the modern American diet- dominated by fast food, convenience food and “junk” food - having any effect on the nation’s health? Although there is little evidence to suggest that changes in eating habits over the past few decades have resulted in a general decline in health, the consumption of large amounts of sugar, fat and other staples of con venience-food diets has been linked to some specific health problems. And many nutrition specialists believe, that, even if the increasing dependence on highly processed foods does not pose a clear, immediate danger, it is not likely to prove beneficial. Dr. Stephen Chaney, assistant professor of biochemistry and nutrition in the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, explains that almost every food preparation process erodes the food’s natural nutrient content. Relative ly little nutrient loss occurs in simple cooking, canning and freezing. But each ingredient in items such as complete frozen dinners may go through several processing steps, so the nutrient loss may be considerable. The result may be that Business of the Week Athletes’ Corner: Serving the Community diced carrots in a frozen chicken pie look and taste like carrots, but have lost many of the water-soluble nutrients of the original item. “The main problem with highly processed foods,” says Chaney, “is that you take out almost all of the nutrients but add back only some of them. “If you look at some of the enriched cereals and fortified products, you can see that a number of vitamins are routinely added back. And if you just consider these, then the American public isn’t doing too poorly. However, if you look at trace minerals, for example. we’re eating much less of these than our ancestors did. “The trouble,” says Chaney, “is that we don’t really know how much of these trace minerals we really need, so it’s too early to tell if there are any health trends.” The hamburger chains and other fast food restaurants have been criticized for promoting diets that are low in vital nutrients and high in fats, cholesterol and sugar. Chaney says he sees nothing wrong with a fast food meal once in a while, but too many people eat them too often. athletes The Athletes’ Corner, located in the new Twin Rivers Mall in New Bern, is dedicated to providing the community with a wide variety of quality sporting goods. Behind each item is the owner’s promise to the consumer of satisfaction quaranteed in every instance or your money back. When Athletes’ Corner opens next Wednesday, their selection of athletic shoes will be one of the bv’st in Eastern North Carolini\.
