Wtf? Cakes and Pies

🎂 CAKES AND PIES 🥧

The ingredients in mass-produced cakes and pies are curated to have long shelf lives. The number of ingredients usually used to make these desserts is less than ten. However, when you examine the labels, you will find 20+ ingredients, many of which require a chemistry lesson. Not only is there an abundance of sugar known by the mere fact that these are desserts, but they also have lots of seed oils, artificial flavors and colors, and even soy in many cases. There are too many chemicals in these desserts that can raise your risk for heart disease, increase your inflammation, increase your propensity to gain body fat, and even lower your testosterone.

These health risks are significantly mitigated if you make the desserts yourself from scratch with good ingredients. You can even control how much sugar you put in them. However, it would still help if you ate them in moderation. The best thing about the internet is that you have access to many recipes that allow you to feed your sweet tooth without making your body go into constant inflammation. Not only that, baking can be a lot of fun for the whole family!
