Why do "dried fruits and vegetables" junk food put on a "healthy" coat?

There are more and more kinds of snacks, and the range for people to choose is also wider and wider. In the case of low product differentiation, in order to improve the value of snacks, merchants played? Healthy snacks? Banners. For example, dried fruits and vegetables popular with girls. On the poster introducing dried fruits and vegetables, we can see a similar explanation: dried fruits and vegetables contain many nutritional elements of fruits and vegetables, and have high nutritional value; Compared with fresh fruits and vegetables, dried fruits and vegetables can be eaten directly without washing.

Although the copy on the poster is convincing and the pictures of snacks look attractive, I still wonder: are dried fruits and vegetables covered? Healthy coat? Junk food. Why do you think so?

First, compared with fresh fruits and vegetables, dried mainstream fruits and vegetables lose a lot of nutrients. How do fresh fruits and vegetables become dried fruits and vegetables? After a series of baking, the water in fruits and vegetables is lost, leaving only dry fruits and vegetables. In high temperature environment, most nutrients will be lost.

Secondly, in order to improve the taste level of dried fruits and vegetables, many merchants add food additives to dried fruits and vegetables. Without additives, it is not healthy food. Is dried fruits and vegetables a snack without pollution and additives? Not exactly. There are kitchen utensils for making dried fruits and vegetables at home. Dried fruits and vegetables made with utensils are sweet, but not very sweet. But the dried fruits and vegetables I bought in the supermarket are sweeter. The comparison of sweetness between the two kinds of dried fruits and vegetables makes me unable to believe that the dried fruits and vegetables on the market are snacks without additives.

Third, dried fruits and vegetables with high sugar content will increase the burden on the human body. The human body needs enough sugar, but it doesn't need excessive sugar. Once the human body ingests excessive sugar, sugar will be converted into fat and accumulated in the human body. The higher the body fat content, the more likely it is to cause hypertension.

To sum up, I don't think dried fruits and vegetables are healthy snacks. If you want to supplement trace elements, it is recommended to eat fresh fruit. Don't be lazy. Keeping healthy requires our efforts, not lying down.
