If something is not natural, we shouldn't be putting it into our body. When I say "natural" I define it as something directly from nature, unadulterated. Anything we put into our bodies that isn't natural, our body has to work extra hard to process it, if it can process it at all.
When trying to be healthy to lose weight, the least distractions you give your body the better. I'm an advocate to keeping your diet simple and eating real foods.
