Unfortunately, the word “organic” has become a typical marketing buzzword in many cases. Food manufacturers have found all sorts of ways to make the same products, except with ingredients that just happen to be organic. This includes ingredients like organic raw cane sugar, which is basically 100% identical to regular sugar. It’s still just glucose and fructose with little to no nutrients. In many cases, the difference between an ingredient and its organic counterpart is next to none.

Roasting and grilling are among the most unhealthy cooking methods. Food cooked in this way is often very tasty and high in calories. Various types of unhealthy chemical compounds are also formed when food is cooked under high heat. Many of the chemicals produced by high-heat cooking are linked to an increased risk of cancer and heart disease. In addition, a high level of oil is normally used in frying.
