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 😂

[@lehmanbrothers6938]

when BPA is not used they use a different but similarly bad chemical like BPS

[@someguy2135]

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

[@matildamaher2650]

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.

As always. Very thorough. Good job CNA

[@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...

[@montesa35]

I love eating the excessive ones, but being stressed and toxic is much more bad than eating processed foods alone

[@KC_88631]

It would be nice if you guys could also send all those canned food for lab test as from time to time, there are plenty of undeclared extra ingredients such as pesticides. Such information will be beneficial to your viewers.

[@rodneymarkestrella6639]

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

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

When I saw that high fructose corn syrup was an ingredient in "deli style turkey breast" on the shelf of my local grocery store, I stopped buying prepackaged meat altogether. 🤢

[@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.

[@blahblah2779]

They’re lined with bpas

[@kongthai..]

Not wholly true

[@risyu7690]

Loving this content!

[@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.

[@shan1enti1]

Very educational. Keep up the great content CNA!

[@noproblematallmate]

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.

[@PranshuTheGamer]

[@BadMrFrosty999]

I'm selling canned tomatoes from China. Want to buy them? Comparing canned tomatoes produce in the EU to the ones here in asia is kind of laughable. They have higher standards and enforcement compared to SEA

[@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.

[@newstar346]

For those who mentioned BPA, you have to also look out for their substitutes ie. BPS and BPF.

[@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...🤔

[@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)

[@gbriank1]

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.

[@nestormontanojr.8427]

Very informative, well research, full of lesson and additional wisdom. Thank you ! Hoping for your next videos.

[@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.

[@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.

[@bry120]

22:25 the veggies she's eating looks so perfect. Must be treated with pesticides or farmed in hydroponics. All of the effort to eat healthy wasted

[@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

[@paulo4771]

These are nice simple little shows appropriate to teach young children some of life's basics.

[@MonkeyDelicious]

Fresh tomatoes are delicious when vine ripened. Chemical ripened fruits taste like water.

[@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

[@noproblematallmate]

people should understand and not be afraid of all additives. not all preservative, addictives and even MSG are that bad. in fact MSG can be used to reduce sodium intake.

[@avodaco89]

you mean additives

[@TangSuijin]

@@avodaco89 i hope he meant additives. because addictives would be pretty bad

[@sidmichael1158]

Sodium isn't bad. It's the sugar that causes inflammation.

[@mahdiyussuf9804]

MSG is an excitotoxin. A poison. Additives and preservatives are terrible

[@michaelspencer2559]

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

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

[@anjumalvi3038]

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

[@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.

[@dnstdavid]

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

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

Does na nitrite cause cancer?

[@NCR-Trooper2]

Every food even in can actually doesn't matter in disease like cancer but if youre eating too much of it then it becomes dangerous

[@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.

5:20 The host tried to act atas by switching her accent, to be on par with the factory manager's.

[@noproblematallmate]

its common and natural for the mind to automatically match the accent. one example is when people sometimes speak differently when speaking to an Indian as compared to westerners.

[@joelngkm]

In the first place, it's ur mindset. I personally think speaking in Singlish is most atas, n angmoh accent is low-class... Its personal, really...

[@arsenic222]

I change my accent too when I speak to angmo, not because I want to bootlick them. But I rather change my accent than having to repeat myself 3-4 times every sentence if I stick to my sg accent.

[@kichaa13]

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.
