Pastry chef Marina Romanova told Gazeta.Ru more about this.
She noted in a conversation with the press that the most dangerous component is refined sugar. It is used almost always, is a source of empty calories. In addition, it is important to consider that such a product can lead to diabetes and obesity.
According to Romanova, if you want to focus on healthy eating, it is better to choose those desserts that contain natural sugars.
As for artificial sweeteners, they can even provoke cancer. Dyes provoke allergic reactions, and trans fats lead to heart disease and high cholesterol.
It is healthier to choose unrefined natural oils, cocoa butter or coconut oil.
Preservatives can often be used to increase the shelf life of the product. But such additives also disrupt the gastrointestinal tract, provoke allergies and even cancer. But it should also be added that not all preservatives are harmful. There are natural ones, but you should be careful with artificial ones, which have the E code.
