50. Bottled Smoothies
A freshly made smoothie or one prepared at home is filled with nutrients and plant compounds with antioxidant qualities. Commercially prepared, bottled smoothies typically contain preservatives, sugars and filler juices. The added sugar causes a spike in blood glucose levels.
Consuming too much sugar leads to obesity and excess inflammation, two factors that increase the risk of certain cancers. Instead of commercially prepared versions, opt for smoothies made with fresh ingredients and fruits naturally low in sugar.
