Dairy products are considered one of the healthiest foods in the diet, but not all of them are as natural as they seem. Some popular types of dairy may contain preservatives, thickeners, stabilizers, and flavors that affect their quality and benefits.

Which dairy products most often contain additives

Yogurts with fruit fillings

They may contain large amounts of coloring, flavoring, starch, and sugar.

Processed cheeses

They often contain phosphates, emulsifiers, and preservatives that affect the structure of the product. This is not cheese at all, and it is better not to buy such products.

Condensed milk

Under the guise of a natural product, they can sell concentrated milk with vegetable fats and sugar substitutes. This is a real calorie bomb!

Dessert curds

Usually, they contain palm oil, thickeners, and synthetic flavors. They also contain a lot of trans fats. It is better to buy cottage cheese and add fruits or berries to it.

Lactose-free milk

Such a product may contain enzymes and stabilizers that change its natural composition. In addition, plant milk often contains sugar.

How to choose quality milk

Always read the composition on packages! Don't forget that natural products contain only milk and starter, without unnecessary additives.

Avoid long shelf life, the longer it is, the more preservatives are in the product.

Give preference to local producers and products without flavors and sweeteners.
