In recent years more and more popular among consumers grocery stores are so-called Superfoods – foods that can have a huge benefit to the body or to promote rapid weight loss. According to sociologists, in many countries people buy such products only because of the inscription “”super “” on their packaging. But what is their real benefit?
Have become so popular, useful products people seem all the more appealing. Studies show that the demand for such products is growing globally: over the period from 2011 to 2015 the need for a super-food around the world has increased by 202%. However, the value of these products is greatly exaggerated, wrote on his page on Facebook acting Minister of health of Ukraine Ulyana Suprun.
According to Suprun, people spend more and more money on superdorogie products, but the use of them is not so consummate. She cited evidence that the European Agency for food safety (EFSA) has been revised approval on nutritional value of such products, since the real evidence of their health benefits and was.
“Usually, Superfoods are products which are rich in trace elements, vitamins and minerals: exotic fruits, vegetables, berries, seeds or grains, which can bring huge health benefits. But the scientific evidence suggests, argue that all this is nothing more than a marketing ploy to increase profits”, – said Suprun.
Suprun commented on the fact that some of Superfoods can really have a high nutritional value and rich vitamin different composition, but it does not mean their undoubted benefit to all. The assimilation of those or other products – the process is purely individual, so for someone such a product can even be contraindicated.
