SweetsSweets contain a whole lot of calories in the form of sugar that is released in your blood stream immediately upon eating it. If you don't use that energy in short order, it is converted into fat.
Deep-fried foodsDeep fried food can be perfectly fine in moderation, depending on the type of oil used to fry and how often it is drained and replaced. Old oil contains more trans fats and harmful byproducts of the frying process.
Processed foodsThe phrase "processed food" has been thrown around so often, that people forget what it actually means. In the case of Spam, the meat was cured and canned - both perfectly normal processes, that only get a bad reputation because they're being done in a factory.
The ingredients of "Spam Classic" are: pork shoulder, ham, salt, water, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite.
pork shoulder and ham are two cuts of meat.salt and water are used for the brining/curing process to preserve the meat.Potato starch binds the meat together to create that typical spam texture.Sugar is added for flavor (and possible other purposes).The big word on their that makes non-scientists shudder is "sodium nitrate". It's not some dangerous poison, but merely a specific type of salt that: "serves a vital public health function: it blocks the growth of botulism-causing bacteria and prevents spoilage." Also: "Cured meats by their definition must include sodium nitrite." and of course, you hear no one about the 93% of our daily intake of nitrites from leafy green vegetables...
