We know it’s not always possible to make soup from scratch or clean and peel fruit
to make a tasty dessert and that’s why millions of us turn to canned goods.
The convenience and time it takes to open a can is a godsend for many who are
too busy or just overwhelmed and if this describes you and you’re one who uses
plenty of canned products, then you may want to learn which canned goods
are making your health worse.

The following list consists of 10 canned goods.

1) Delmonte Peaches!
Yes, using a can of peaches to make a cobbler, pie or pour over Ice cream is
convenient for a lot of people, but that can of peaches is also putting you
at risk for some serious illnesses and diseases.
The corn syrup in this product increase your odds of becoming obese and getting
heart disease, certain cancers (especially pancreatic) and type-2 diabetes.

2) Ocean-Spray Cranberry Sauce!
We know, opening a can of cranberry sauce is a must on Thanksgiving and it’s
less time consuming and convenient, but like the peaches, it too, contains
unhealthy amounts of heart-damaging corn syrup.
To protect your and your family’s health, make homemade sauce using fresh cranberries.

3) Manwich Bourbon BBQ Sloppy Joe Sauce!
Another convenient product, just open a can and pour it over some cooked hamburger.
And like the first 2 canned goods mentioned, this sauce contains corn syrup, but unlike
the first 2 canned goods, it also contains an unhealthy amount of sodium.
So, to avoid heart disease and high blood pressure, you may want to make your
own sauce.

The next 7 canned good products are all high in sodium.
4) Campbell’s Condensed Tomato Soup.
Side note: We were shocked that tomato soup made the list, as the chicken noodle
soup is often mentioned as a food to avoid if you’re trying to keep high sodium
products out of your diet.

5) Vienna Sausage-
Another quick and convenient food to quell that midday hunger is
also loaded with high amounts of sodium.

6) Dinty Moore Beef Stew-
If making your own beef stew is terrifying, you may want to take the time
and start making your own healthier version because of the sodium in this
product.

7) Chef Boyardee Sausage Ravioli!
A favorite among kids, but due to high sodium levels, you may want to
find healthy alternatives or just serve them noodles or spaghetti
with homemade sauce.

8) Great Value Clam Chowder!
From Walmart’s personal label, it may cost less and warm you up on a cool
fall day, but it’s also causing your blood pressure to go up.

9) Progresso Broccoli and Bacon Soup!
High in sodium and unhealthy saturated fats.

10) Chicken of The Sea Tuna in Oil-
This may be the most popular canned item on this list and it’s used by millions
on a daily basis, but thanks to the combination of high mercury counts
and the unhealthy soybean oil, you may want to eat it once in a blue moon,
or look for alternatives, like canned sardines or mackerel.
It’s advised that women who are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant
should avoid this product.

That’s it, the top 10 unhealthiest canned goods on supermarket shelves.

And lastly, if you’re wondering, what if I just rinse the can out a few times,
will that make it less harmful. It might, but some of the canned goods may have
been in the warehouse and then on the shelves for quite some time, which means
the oils, sodium and corn syrup have really penetrated the foods.
And with that said, you must take the time to really read labels or start preparing
the same foods from scratch. Doing this ensures you can control every bit of salt,
sugar or oil that goes into it. (the recipe).
