what counts as “ultra processed” food?

1.08K viewsBiologyOther

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

Ultra pocessed food is not a scientific term so everyone can call whatever they want “processes food”.

In general, all ready to eat food is ultra processed, including those you cook yourself then freeze. “Processed food” itself isn’t unhealthy, those that is high in salty, sugar, and fat are.
