Foods Diabetics Should Probably Stay Away From

5. Canned Fruits and Vegetables

In a world where fruits and vegetables are expensive and not readily available to everyone, canned fruits and veggies seem like a handy and cost-effective solution. And while there was a time when canned healthy goods were considered to be just as nutritious as fresh fruits and vegetables, it seems as though research has found some downsides. That’s because canned foods items are almost always covered in sugar and salt to preserve them for longer. 

Of course, adding any kind of unhealthy preservative to a can isn’t going to work in a diabetic’s favor. Especially when they also include the harmful bisphenol A (BPA), which can lead to a higher rate of type 2 diabetes.
