We all know that it is healthier to eat more fruits and vegetables I know, but does it really matter if we prepare again, or cook in a box? As it turns out, it does. Although there are benefits for canned foods - in most canned food at home than their counterparts did - there are dangers.

With so many Americans sorely lacking in fruits and vegetables, canned versions of these foods are better than no fruits and vegetables at all. While some nutrients are depleted by the canning process, goodness remains.
Canned foods are convenient. After a busy day at work, instead of preparing fresh vegetables, opening a few cans to throw dinner is an interesting option. However, it is this attitude of comfort and running through the kitchen, which creates many common health problems in this country.
Canned foods have a long life. Home canned items can last for about a year and a half, while some canned manufactured items can last up to five years on the board. This means you can store these items and not worry about them going bad, which is particularly beneficial in case of power failure or other emergency situations.
For those who have a tight budget, inexpensive canned foods may allow storing a variety of fruits and vegetables that may cost more than buying fresh.
When canning at home, you can avoid the additives and preservatives that often appear in commercially canned goods.
Less
Canned goods produced often sprinkled with refined sugar, refined salt and preservatives. These additives can cancel most of the initial feed of the food. A class of preservatives often used in canned vegetables is sulfite. These include sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite and potassium beefiest.
Some people may have reactions to sulfite, which can be serious. If you are having trouble breathing within a half hour after eating canned foods, consult a doctor immediately.
Many boxes are lined with biosphere-A (BAA), despite the growing awareness of the effects of a toxic industrial chemical, in recent years. BAA exposure is linked to hormone disruption, and may pave the way for infertility, breast cancer and prostate cancer. It is also related to obesity, heart disease, diabetes and neurological complications, such as ADD in children.
If you see a label that claims a product or package is free of BAA, this does not necessarily mean it is safe. Some manufacturers have substituting with other chemicals, such as biosphere-S (BSP), which was found to be very similar in structure and can lead to many of the same risks. Some boxes used for canning may also contain BAA or BSP.
When food is poorly maintained, can lead to the growth of the bacteria Colostomies botulism, which leads to botulism, a form of food poisoning that can cause paralysis and even death if not treated quickly. Home canners are particularly at risk of this bacteria, strictly preserved if procedures are not followed. Never eat a box is dented, leaking, bulging or rusted. If the food inside feels bad, throw it out.
It is obvious like ... Canned food canned. A canned product can never match the taste of its fresh counterpart.
For a tasty and profitable canning healthier alternative, we propose to buy fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk and freeze. Get your product from the farmers market during peak season (or your local supermarket, if not an option), considering that organic farming is always the best.
Photocopy canned vegetables and blanch in boiling salted water, let cool and freeze in glass, making sure not to fill the jar. These will keep for several months in the freezer. To freeze fruits like apples, cut raw fruits and squeeze some fresh lemon juice to prevent browning. The berries also maintain their freshness and nutrients well when frozen.
To enjoy fast and nutritious meal in a busy week when you do not have time to cook, a good method is to cook in bulk once a week and freeze meals for later use. Be sure to label and date everything freezes.
