That canned vs fresh segment should have been a blinded test.

[@borgir80]

no. visual presentation was part of the test. Companies usually add preservatives like sodium benzoate and nitrite for a redder and much more appetizing color that reminds you of childhood. Or many companies use Titanium Dioxide on salad sauces and pastry ingredients to make them look "whiter" and "purer." How canned food looks (and how it often looks more appetizing than fresh food) is as important as how it tastes for manufacturers- that's why it was important to show that, often, it may not only taste and smell better, but also look better, because of harmful and often suspected carcinogenic additives.

[@XtraCrispy]

I bet the chef suck at fresh. good chef will always win on fresh, and i agree Blinded test should be the way to go!

[@singusmum6845]

The program didn’t talk about BPA that is used to line cans. In fact, by avoiding canned food consumption, you avoid the major source of BPA exposure. In the US, some organic canned tomato brands are marked “No BPA lining on can”. Those are what I will pick. Also, for fruits and vegetables, frozen is better than canned (in fact it is sometimes better than fresh because it is picked at the peak and then flash frozen).

[@kellyi1608]

This 👏👏

[@pom8130]

They made a video about BPA and it is like not even bad unless you eat the lining 😂

[@someguy2135]

Another issue with canned food is the lining. Look for cans that say on the label- "No BPA added."

After arriving Australia I was shocked how much preservatives they consume. I’ve been avoiding them, just cook fresh, even eggs on toast is better, healthy and wholesome. My anxiety has reduced and more fit.

[@everynewdayisablessing8509]

What this was missing is a talk about the metal used in tins and what they are lined with and if they are healthy because most are aluminium cans.

[@TmTrinidad35968]

In disaster prone countries, canned goods are distributed as relief goods. Also, on days when food budget is meager, people buy canned goods because it is less costly than fresh produce. These are some reasons why people resort to eating canned food. But ask any nutritionist and they will tell you, fresh food is by far the best choice. Home cooked meals would allow you to customize your ingredients according to taste preference or health concerns, without using chemical preservatives, making homecooked meals not only more affordable but far better than any meal bought from a restaurant or a fastfood place.

[@Farmerslife-1984]

Thank you sa tips

[@obayakoakinde1182]

Great video by CNA, very very informative and thorough. I think the lesson is also to be everything must be in moderation. Having excessive eating of one type of food will always be bad for you...

using canned tomato in the experiment is a flaw. canned tomato is usually superior to fresh tomatos when making a tomato sauce and canned tomato has almost no negative effects.

[@daimos6686]

lol that is why tnis experiment is about canned foods😂

[@seitanbeatsyourmeat666]

I prefer fresh, if you use good tomatoes (not the grocery store artificially ripened ones). Passata pomodoro is divine, like sunshine in your mouth

[@noproblematallmate]

@@seitanbeatsyourmeat666 All Passata recipe videos show Italians taking fresh ripen tomatoes and canning them which turns them into canned tomatoes.

I love canned tuna, the only canned food i can eat straight from the can.

[@ahheng6402]

A good guide for use process food (if no choice) are choose the ones with less ingredients. For example a pure butter are made milk, water & salt. And avoid any form of sugar or sweetener & Seed Oil (vegetables oil)

[@NancyFMichael1306]

This is very informative. Thanks for the information for awareness. Just wondering the right way to keep the milk in can after it's opened? 😉

[@michaelspencer2559]

Canned food should be illegal unless it's for emergency situations.

[@damansarajaya88]

Good info and better awareness now when i buy canned food. Essentially to avoid is best but will need to have some as contingency. Good to know which ones to have in the cupboard.

[@shikumohayashi6990]

Whatever people say, I only believe in my fresh vegetables. They might have lower vitamins, but I believe fresh is always better. I don't have to worry about preservatives.

[@blahblah2779]

Because they don’t contain pesticides, gmos or poor fertilizers

[@ideoformsun5806]

Canned food is emergency food. But buy the best quality you can, like all organic, wild caught tuna or salmon, or can your own garden produce in jars.

[@anjumalvi3038]

I think canned food should be avoided and in no way promoted!

[@wilterjuliacherry]

Thank you so much CNA Insider. Very helpful information 👍😊

[@harukrentz435]

As an Indonesian i cant understand the pull of canned food 😂 i mean the only canned food i ever bought was sardens, the rest i bought them fresh from traditional market.

[@kuga7423]

Canned fruits? I bet you have had them at least once.

[@ringofsolomon268]

If you're Muslim of course pork luncheon meat won't be your choice. Other than sardines, I think you'll occasionally come into contact with canned fruit like longan.

[@thebigmann81]

I always thought it was funny when can says it has ham and pork as ingredients 🤔🤯

[@Aki-yn4pg]

The only canned food I eat is tuna and sardines. Even that, I’m particular with the taste and nutrition profile. High salt and additives are things to avoid.

[@devikamenon8605]

Fresh food has no replacement. It builds immunity, psychology, healthy gut and digestive system. In all it’s a base for experiencing life positively. Imagine our body is like a car. Then the food we eat is like the fuel we fill in. For high end cars high performance fuel and oil is needed.

[@MarkWongUSA]

Here in Malaysia my family also goes for Golden Bridge brand. Quality product

[@ideoformsun5806]

I hate that they add preservatives. The canning should be plenty enough. Low salt could be enough. So you can have more than one slice per day.

[@kevinfrancis2244]

8:15 I laughed way too hard here lol

[@za7v9ier]

22:14 this is why sharp knives are important. look at the bounceback.

[@mwaters9647]

Wonder how frozen food compares to fresh food. I would assume frozen foods are one ingredient and frozen without additives are better long term storage food than canned ones

[@jcjovic]

Luncheon meat in Malaysia starting price is around Rm8.00 per can.

[@blisswkc3344]

[@nnishikigoi]

can you put more comprehensive listing of the canned goods ... thanks for the information

[@Aki-yn4pg]

It’s the tin that’s used in canning that’s also an issue as it can leach into the food it contains.

[@palamirtammarimuthu1752]

Ya...l was advised to transfer instantly onto another container...🤔

[@bowlampar]

If you eat to satisfy your hunger, canned food is fine. If you also want to remain healthy, they are probably a bad choice. 😎

[@totoys1573]

Weird...the homemade spaghetti sauce looks so pale ..are you sure you added tomatoes? Hahaha

[@susancuello4073]

I haven't seen the video yet. Just arrived home. Luncheon meat ( Spam at that time) was my favorite breakfast so I our help would fry some for me almost every other week. The next breakfast favorite is canned corn beef. I am now 47 and feel fine. So I guess it didn't harm me.Will watch the video later

In America, people eat these canned foods on a daily basis. unless you know how to read the label (which most don't), you can easily consume three to four times the sodium, sugar and preservative agents daily. In America, white sugar is our biggest offender. It is in everything. Drinks, foods, and even medications.

[@eadruna]

I love canned tuna. Glad CNA made video about canned food

[@wmchan44]

Fresh food is not always readily available in an urban environment such as Singapore and we may need to take meals with canned products occasionally. Everything is dependent on eating them in moderation.

[@ddtking7630]

It brought back the memories of many lip and arse pies that I’ve eaten in my younger days.......

[@HuangHwei]

By simply looking the colors, you know which one is canned. Canned goods often have enticing colors.

Not really, the fresh curry is the one with oil and looks red. It is easy to differentiate if you know how to cook.

[@dnstdavid]

Good info. But, Why you didn’t wash the romaine vegetables before eating?

[@kongthai..]

Can't have to much fish. Fish has high oil content. Our neural function requires sufficient σ oils. Canned fish is dried out due to osmosis, poor in taste. Fruits in syrup is better due to fibre & energy. So just eat less rice, bread, tubers. Beans, chickpeas has fiber and high protein level. Popular. Luncheon meat is staple meat that is a complete meal or protein, carbohydrate, flavour. Now some can food has internal lining = example the Golden Bridge Brand. Most canned food from Australia. 😅

Canned italian tomatoes are better because they are the correct variety as Seth (?) mentioned, rather than the salt and sugar. Outside Europe, and even outside mediterranean countries within Europe it is not easy to buy the correct variety of fresh tomato. Most people resort to buying bottled passata or canned italian tomatoes.
