what counts as “ultra processed” food?

1.06K 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

A good rule of thumb I learned along the way was to imagine reading the ingredients to your grandmother. If you can’t easily pronounce the ingredients (in your mind), or if you think the list of ingredients would confuse your grandmother, then guess what- you’ve got an ultra processed food product in your hands.
