Read [this article](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/07/01/health/worst-ultraprocessed-food-early-death-wellness) and though I’m scientifically literate and understand how scientific research can be overdramatized by the media, I’m worried. How I avoid ultra processed food, it is apparently everything. Ugh
In: Biology
There is no universally accepted definition of ultra processed foods. This means you have to be really careful when reviewing any study regarding to see how that particular study defined the term. In general this means, in my opinion, I am going into any study regarding them with a pretty high degree of skepticism as they started with a term that is really nebulous (hopefully they define it fully so it is a useful study but not always).
It makes it really hard for anyone to do a metastudy.
