People who eat canned fruits and veggies have a healthier diet than those that do not eat vegetables at all. A new study funded by the Canned Food Alliance aimed to discover if there were any health benefits of eating canned vegetables. “About 11% of these individuals ate canned vegetables and fruits on any given day. Overall, these people tended to consume higher amounts of certain nutrients as well as more calories, sugar and fat…” The study advised to look for low-sodium and low-sugar canned goods in order to eliminate excess calories, sugar, and fat upon consumption. While the study did not say that canned fruits and vegetables were better or worse than fresh ones, it did stress that the important takeaway is to eat fruit and veggies no matter what packaging they come in.
