Why is Processing So Bad? Watch an Apple •
Cut open an apple and let it set on your counter for about 10 minutes. What happens? •
The inside white portion starts to turn brown. This is the ‘oxidation’ process. If we leave the apple there it will eventually completely breakdown and rot.
•
If we left the apple whole it would take much longer for this process to happen.
•
When our food that we buy from the store in bags and boxes goes through manufacturing procedures, it is exposed to oxygen to a greater degree than making it at home and eating it right away.
