Foods that have been fermented Fermented foods are high in probiotics, which are live bacteria that are beneficial to your digestive system. Sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, tempeh, and kombucha are all examples of fermented foods. (These foods are also high in sodium, so if you have high blood pressure, eat them in moderation or avoid them entirely.)
Meals that have been treated are often believed to be inferior to foods that have not been processed. They may conjure up images of a packaged food item with a long list of ingredients, including artificial colors, tastes, and other chemical additions. Processed foods, often known as convenience or pre-prepared foods, are thought to play a role in the obesity epidemic and the increased prevalence of chronic diseases including heart disease and diabetes. The definition of a processed food, on the other hand, differs greatly depending on the source: A processed food is defined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as any raw agricultural commodity that has undergone any changes to its natural state, such as washing, cleaning, milling, cutting, chopping, heating, pasteurizing, blanching, cooking, canning, freezing, drying, dehydrating, mixing, packaging, or other procedures that alter the food from its natural state. Other ingredients such as preservatives, flavors, nutrients, and other food additives or chemicals permitted for use in food items, such as salt, sugars, and fats, may be added to the food.

Maize/corn used for food and ethanol has been genetically modified to withstand herbicides and express a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) protein that kills insects.
[114] In 2010, around 90% of maize cultivated in the United States was genetically engineered. [115] In 2015, the Bt trait was found on 81 percent of corn acreage in the United States, while the glyphosate-tolerant trait was found on 89 percent of corn land. [48] Corn can be ground into grits, meal, or flour and used in pancakes, muffins, doughnuts, breadings, and batters, as well as infant foods, meats, cereals, and some fermented foods. Taco shells, corn chips, and tortillas are made from masa flour and masa dough made from corn. [116] Soy [revision]
