4. Vegetables canned in brine
Unfortunately, veggies may lose some of the essential nutrients and flavor-giving phenolic chemicals that give them their color and flavor when they are packed in brine, and this applies especially to the ones that have been peeled.
Given the fact that it is formed with ingredients like salt and water, brine can also contain a lot of sodium. Additionally, it may give a savory flavor to the vegetables; the sodium intake may increase, and a lot of health issues are likely to appear. High blood pressure, stroke, and water retention are three of the most dangerous ones.
Checking the label and looking for canned foods with little to no added salt is unquestionably the wisest choice you can make.

It’s true that vegetables canned with brine are neither healthy nor tasty, but if you drain off the brine and fill the can with water, then pour out the water, you’ll have a vegetable that you can season to your own taste. It works pretty well.
The smarter idea is to take advantage of the brine. Yes it has salt in it, so you use that salt that’s in that brine to help flavor whatever you’re cooking with. You would rather have the vegetables packed in water, if you throw away the brine you’re throwing away half of the vitamins that were in the vegetables anyway. You’re never going to get away from the mercury in tuna, even if you buy it fresh. Again with baked beans, even when you make fresh baked beans they’re still made with fat sugar salt. Go to the fanny farmer cookbook and look up how to make baked beans from scratch.
Any tinned meat is packaged with sugar fats and salt. The idea is to take advantage of these ingredients and use all of them when you’re cooking. And who in their right mind would buy canned pasta? Re ally? It’s a cruel world we live in, everything is got poison in it, any cured meat has nitrites in it, the idea is to limit the amount we’re exposed to.
There are all beef and pure pork hot dogs available. Aren’t cows and pigs just as natural as turkeys? Beef and pork hot dogs may contain more fat, but saturated animal fat is good for your brain and cell growth.
The problem is that beef and pork hot dogs are heavily processed and you are eating a lot of toxic. In addition to that natural doesn’t mean free of antibiotics, growth hormones and lungs medication to make that pig or cow fat and big to be able to go to the slaughter. Think about that the next time you buy process food.
Since when?
Saturated fat is not good for the brain, it’s healthy cholesterol that is protective of the brain. It is not converted from saturated fat, it is converted by low fats.
A heart healthy diet helps produce these healthy cholesterols and reduce plaque in the arteries.
Processed meats of any kind are very bad for multiple organs. The meat we grow in this country is grown and kept in a way that makes it unhealthy to your body.
Unless you see with your own eyes, the animal where it’s being raised and kept you cannot count on its health or nutrition.
Thank you! O:-)
Basically it is telling us that “SALT BAD”. I agree, to much is bad. So read labels and think smart. As my Doctor always tells me… If it taste good spit it out…
We do not have a sodium problem in this country. We have a lack of potassium problem
I thought I was going to read something new and spectacular..Common sense tells you what to look for on canned foods and I am 84 years of age and have eaten and now am surviving on many types of canned foods and fruits…But thank you for the info?!?
What about Nathan’s Hot Dogs? Bad? Good? In different? If you look at canned fruits most have corn syrup which is especially bad for you from what I comprehend. Sure fresh is best but, I would have to say everything in moderation!
I always have Nathan’s Hot Dogs in the Fridge, a great, low calory treat anytime.
Read ingredients. Not any better than ballpark or ? All lunch meat and hot dogs and chicken nuggets are loaded with crap you wouldn’t eat if you saw how they were made. I worked in a meat processing plant for a short time….. ugh. Ugh. Ugh!
Hebrew National — all beef, not canned. When I crave a hot dog this is my only choice, and I eat hot dogs rarely enough that I’m not worried.
Vienna sausages, now … I don’t want to try living without them.
This is the Great Awakening. Donald Trump is Jesus Christ. All lies are being revealed. The evil is being done away with.
Donald Trump is not Jesus Christ, he is the devil whose is up to no good and will destroy anything that gets in his way, he believes that Hitler was a great person and Putan from Russia is his friend, wake up before it is too late,
Only Jesus Christ can save this world but seriously what has Biden and his cohorts done for us, except destroy just about everything we need. I think your are the one who needs to wake up and get your news from somewhere else. You obviously have been listening to the wrong reports.
I realize this is not what this thread is about and I don’t agree with the initial poster who sidelined the conversation, but your extremely hateful response totally intrigued me.
Would you please tell me why you have such a strong hatred for President Trump? What has he done except keep his promises on as much as he could while fighting against Covid and being vilified and attacked from every leftist that wants a socialist America? Do you want to be living under socialist/communist rule? Why do you think millions & millions of aliens from every corner on Earth that have lived under communist dictators have always tried to escape to America? I’m so surprised by the hatred of the left which Hillary, the Obamas and Biden-Harris have been instrumental in implementing. I realize it’s been going on for well over a hundred years, but they are the dividers that have caused the demonstrable hatred in America today. Their mentor, Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals, has deluded them . You really should read it before you vote in a couple months. That is one place the evil you are promoting has been and is currently stemming from.
As for me, in case you are wondering, I will hate no one because GOD’s love guides me every day to “Love one another as I have loved you”. Please think about what exactly brings such hatred for others into your heart. Take care.
Hes actually neither, the stupidity hits hard on both sides.
Donald Trump is neither Jesus Christ, nor is he the devil. He’s just a man who loves his country, and is trying to do the best for it he can. And any man that the elite hate as much as they hate him? That man is worth my vote. Cuz the only one they hate as much as him is RFK Jr. And we all know he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. Rigging the Democratic primary prove that.
Your a uneducated moron with no clue of who is capable of running a country. He works for free I don’t think the same is true of the Clinton’s and the Obamas. Look at Congress most have lifetime jobs.
Robert must be on the money train and knows nothing about economics, read Milton Freeman I bet you won’t.
Vogt, youre a bit paranoid arent you? This is the same thing lib democrats whined about when he was president … things went very well under Trump. Take your meds, or they’ll put you back in that room.
Agree!!!
You sound like the perfect Democrat sheep. Regurgitating all the “info” you have been fed. The product of educational indoctrination learning what to think but never how.
Donald Trump come in a can?? Otherwise what’s got to do with this article??
So I assume you’re not voting this year, bc you don’t want a coward to be in charge of this great nation?
I totally agree with you!!! Trump is a pathological liar and a 100% narcissist. He lied many times during the debate. He still has many hearings to go to and he could end up with some jail time. He’s an ignorant fool
TDR much?
Wow. Just wow. You just wow are so wrong. Who taught you that?Trump is not evil. Nor Is he God, that I know of.
I will pray for you AND everyone that believes this crap.
He just wants America to remain free and safe for EVERYONE IN AMERICA. Even you.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
VOTE RED.
Donald Trump does not believe that Hitler was a good person, nor is he friends with Putin. Stop believing the lies that Democrats are spreading in their desperation to defeat him with their foolish and ineffectual candidate!
I do not know what Robert is drinking, but I sure as hell do not want any of it in my body. He is about as informed as a newborn infant.
Everything you just said were lies spewed by the leftist propagandists! I can see you don’t give a d*mn about this country or your fellow Americans. Trump 2024 will SAVE AMERICA. Harris is evil, selfish & CLUELESS, except when it comes to the ruin of this country. THAT SHE WILL ACCOMPLISH in no tome if you leftists elect her. Like the rest of the Dem elites, she’s the DEVIL INCARNATE – NOT TRUMP. And it is them that are the Hitlers if the world. And this is coming from a use-to-be democrat. After the disaster if the Biden Harris administration I quickly became a proud Maga Republican. The Democratic Party left America & it’s smart constituents a long time ago. Wake up & take a serious look at what this country has turned into, & this is them just getting started!! Recent events should speak loud & clear to you. They are giving everything, right from the taxpayers pockets, to the illegals. While those who’ve lost everything, including loved ones, from TS Helene get nothing!!!!Why aren’t you outraged at this?
What has Donald Trump got to do with this article? Of course the fact you refer to him as Jesus Christ tells me you are incapable of rational thought anyway….. Mr. Trump would disagree with you, so just stop your nonsense.
Diito!
I was wondering that myself. Do people really have to put Donald Trump in everything!
I think that “Trump is Christ” comment was ironic, meant to trap the unwary.
John 3:16
Thank you for calling out bs!
AMEN TO THAT!!! MAGA!!!! They referred to Obama as the Messiah!!! Lots of friction in America evolved!!! I blame Oprah!!!
What! What does this have to do with food which we are talking about.
bwahaha
you are so increadibly delusional
Did you mean to say anti Christ?
Nothing wrong with tuna
Not so, it’s really old news that canned tuna contains enough mercury to make it highly carcinogenic!
The metal leached from the can is what concerns me. No metal canned food for us but we do use things preserved in glass occasionally
It’s more about the Bisphenol A from the coating on the inside of the can that is so dangerous.
I am now past 91 with no health problems. NO I did not know, hear, read, or believe much of the male bovine fecal matter being printed here. It is far more dangerous than our canned goods.
Actually, I prefer frozen because it seems to be a better taste and quality.
Gees, it will all kill us in the end. Really people key word “moderation” as if we are to believe everything we read about how bad most of our food is, we would not eat. Eating too much of just about anything will result in negative consequences (including fruits and vegetables). Additionally, if you are going to write about foods that people should never eat, the story is not complete unless you offer alternatives.
Totally agree with you
Hebrew national makes hot dogs nitrate free..are these ok or at least better?
Tuna is OK in a tin and baked beans.
I don’t know of an alternative to canned tuna. I always keep a couple cans of tuna in the pantry for a quick tuna salad, but don’t fix it on a weekly basis. What are my options?
Buy your tuna in the meat depth, make sure it’s wild not farmed, then cook it up and flake it with a fork. Quick and easy and so much healthier and tastier.
Tuna is available in pouches, but they are not recyclable.
Buy fresh tuna filled! Cooks quickly and the taste is delicious! Canned tuna is all scraps of who knows what!
Unfortunately, Tuna in a tin is not ok. But hey, we all die from something eventually right? Mercury
Well said
I have not listened to or followed any of the ding-bat theories about canned, or frozen, or farmed, or any food that didn’t grow wild and was not served straight from the woods. Total BS to me, but why would I know? I am now 91 in great health, and I eat whatever I want. However, I do know and often see emaciated health food nuts (not from trees) that look like walking death. Eat what you want, enjoy life, and when your time goes just join all the others.
What does it matter? The entire world is polluted. The very air you breathe in is polluted and plastic is also in the air and in your skin. Many chemicals are everywhere and big companies try to tell you their foods are organic and chemical free. That is bull and has been proved. We are all going to die of among many things cancer, dementia. Just do what you want to do. When you time comes so be it.
Tuna also comes in vacuum sealed pouches!
Sure, something has to kill someone one day and we all know that. So let’s all just becareful not over do everything. Thanks for advice of canned food, I never know.
Never added salt to my food, so I thought I was “good.” Then, experienced an episode of heart failure due to high blood pressure that had been “sneaking up” on me. My husband & I read labels now & will never eat canned soup or uber-salted canned goods again. We dropped almost 20 lbs ea immediately w/o using pre-prepared foods, & if we did….buying low/no sodium products. We didn’t change much of our meal ingredients….except for the salt. This meant we bought all around the outer edges of the market (fresh vegetables…fresh low-fat meats….eggs….some dairy, lower salt breads or buns) TONS of lemons to use in place of salt or salad dressings for enhancing taste to much of what we eat….no salt Lemon Pepper from a shaker….). We’ve also always grown our own summer veggies & this year, found several homemade no salt or low salt pasta sauces to use our tomatoes that really hit the mark…you’d never know they were no/low salt…& the big thing is, I did not find them b/c they were no or low salt. They were just old-fashioned mid-west tomato pasta sauce recipes for canning/putting up.
Why don’t people look at all the 0ses they eat and feed their children. That is why 20 and 22 year Olds have fatty liver syndrome
