They are ALL bad.
The way to avoid them is to avoid processed food altogether.
For example - no more jars for dinner - Chicken Tonights, Dolmio sauces, etc.
No more Maggi Packets, commercial breads, 2-minute noodles, crap cereals.
You have to make everything yourself, using whole ingredients.
There is a FAB thread about "breaking the jar habit and cooking from scratch" around - check it out - it is soo much easier than people realise and much cheaper too.
Use more veggies in all meals, no packet sides like those crap microwave pastas.
Make your own chicken muggets and fish fingers, your own pies, sausage rolls are good too.
With your baking, you can substitute some sugar for sweet potato - Christy has all sorts of recipes like this I think. Oils and fats are fine in moderation. ETA: And you can jut cut the sugar in half or reduce it too - I never use as much sugar as the recipe calls for when baking, and you can't taste the difference
Find some recipes for things like museli bars to make at home, and no more packet cakes, muffin bars, or whatever else.
No Le Snacks and their shyte "cheese"
Also, the colours are often the worst, and surprisingly, it is the yellows that cause most issues. Even things labelled as "natural flaour" or "natural colours" are just as bad.
Real food has NO number in it at all - it isn't processed, it doesn't require google or a book to look up the meaning of its ingredients.
Buy REAL yoghurt - like Jalna, not the crap with the cartoon characters on it.
HTH
It is really easy once you do it, just seems overwhelming at the beginning when you actually examine and see how much of your pantry and fridge are filled with preservatives and processed rubbish. Promise though, once you get going, it is the best and easist thing you will ever do.
