17. Processed cheese

As mentioned earlier, dairy consumption is highly recommended by health professionals. However, it’s the type of dairy that should be carefully considered. Processed cheese is more harmful than beneficial, and other options should be explored. It contains many harmful additives and high levels of sodium. Processed cheese also lacks the flavor complexity and beneficial probiotic bacteria found in other cheese varieties. Parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta cheeses are a few of the many better options for your health.
