Cookies and cakes: foods to avoid to stay healthy?
Who doesn’t love sweet foods? Most of the time it’s bonwe have the impression that we find the moral and it is also very convenient to eat in case of a break or small cravings. Children also crack without moderation for all types of cookies and cakes. It’s no secret that these urges are hard to control. However, it is not an ideal consumption to stay healthy.
Indeed, the amount of sugar in it and all the additives do not do you well, on the contrary! The journalists of 60 million consumers studied the subject and released a black list to avoid urgently. Here it is below.
A single biscuit represents half of your intake for the day…
The investigators analyzed 24 references of cookies and cakes. There is something for everyone, with chocolate or red fruits for example. As you can imagine, the results are not pleasing. A 50g product contains approximately 14g of sugarwhich represents 30% of your intake for the day.
So, given these figures, you must greatly reduce this consumption. Maximum two or three biscuits per day. The WHO is even stricter on the concept of sugar and advises not to exceed 25 g of sugar per day.
Disastrous notes, to be consumed in moderation for your health
Often, cookies and cakes are synonymous with pla*s*r. Afternoon tea is a moment that the little ones really enjoy. They wait impatiently to enjoy their dose of sugar. Alas, the manufacturers abuse and push the cork far too far in the amounts of sugar and additives.
Of the 24 products tested, 17 don’t even have the average and are below 10 out of 20. Too much salt, sugar, saturated fatty acids… Nothing good for human health.
Listing of biscuits and cakes notes according to 60 million consumers
The first of the class do not have exceptional marks. Indeed, the cookies and cakes obtained marks between 12 and 13 out of 20. It’s still better than nothing. So, if you have a craving for a snack, you can (eventually) fall for:
- Biscuits coated with Bio Village dark chocolate, Marque Repère (E.Leclerc): 12/20 – price: 1.90 euro.
- Gerblé walnut chocolate cakes: 13/20 – price: 2.60 euros.
Then we continue with the last of the class, to banish from your diet. The cookies and cakes scored between 5 and 7 out of 20!
- Milka’s Choco Moo : 7/20
- Pepito nuggets from Lu: 5.5/20
- Lu’s Granola Cookies: 5.5/20
- Chocolate nuggets from Milka: 5/20
Lu and Milka are very well known brands and yet they are on the undesirable list. remember that the brand is not a guarantee of seriousness and trust. Consumers are gradually beginning to realize this, especially following the Buitoni tragedy.
What regarding other brands, such as BN, Bonne Maman, Nutella or Kinder? The scores are less catastrophic and between 7 and 12. In short, the advice is to minimize cookies and cakesor even delete them completely, if you have the strength!
Instead, you can substitute with muesli, cereal flakes, seeds, dried fruits, fresh fruits. Test!
