24、ered healthier than the types of food sold in supermarkets. For example, whole grains, dried beans, and corn oil are health food. A narrower classification (分类) of healthy food is natural food. This term is used to distinguish (区分) between types of the same food. Raw honey is a natural sweetener, wh

25、ile refined (提炼的) sugar is not. Fresh fruit is a natural food, but canned fruit, with sugars and other additives (添加剂), is not.
