On their own, sugar, white flour & oils (including butter) can cause weight gain and many health problems. However, when combined they become a tsunami for health. Most of our beloved desserts and savory snacks are made using at least two of these ingredients. If these aren't enough, a number of additives, preservatives & food colorings are also routinely added to increase shelf taste and shelf life. We must understand that most desserts & savory snacks cakes, ice creams, donuts, gulab jamuns, samosas etc. are not real foods and thus should be avoided (as much as possible), if we value our health. at the time of our ancestors, deserts were consumed only at the time of big celebrations that used to come once every few months. In addition, people were really active and could burn some of it off.
Food items like these destroy the health at the cellular level. Even if one is not obese or is not showing any signs of chronic illness, by consuming such foods, he/she is already laying the groundwork for what is to follow later. The biggest threat is to our children who are consuming these food like substances on daily bases. We are responsible for our children's health and by feeding them such items we are making ourselves accountable.
Why do these ingredients cause weight gain and chronic health problems?
These ingredients (oil, sugar & white flour) are isolated from the "whole foods" and are stripped of their fiber. When food containing these ingredients are consumed, they cause a rise in blood sugar levels, but even worse they injure the inner lining of our arteries. This in turn causes inflammation which if sustained over a period of time leads to a number of chronic and autoimmune diseases.
Solution: Stick to food groups that are best for the body and you will be rewarded with your ideal weight and disease free life. Eat fresh seasonal fruits, vegetables (raw or cooked - avoiding oil), lentils/beans (cooked without oil) and some whole grains.
