Cereal is an excellent side dish for meat dishes and salads, as well as an alternative to bread. Many people have been taught that porridge is very useful and nutritious since childhood. However, this does not apply to all types.

FoodOboz editorial staff has collected information and will tell you which porridge is the most harmful of all.

According to experts, the most harmful porridge is corn porridge.

Firstly, the cereal includes a high level of glucose. This substance is a simple carbohydrate quick to digest and, as a result, lead to an increase in blood sugar levels. Fat deposits may accumulate and excess weight increase due to large quantities of insulin releasing.

In addition, high sugar levels also affect the body by worsening the function of the pancreas and increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Secondly, corn porridge can not boast of a sufficient content of fiber and other useful substances, vitamins and minerals. This reduces its nutritional value significantly compared to other types of cereals.
