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

Bear in mind that the mechanism of action by which ultraprocessed food harms you is *overeating*, at least according to an NIH randomized controlled trial conducted at the NIH Clinical Center. “This is the first study to demonstrate causality — that ultra-processed foods cause people to eat too many calories and gain weight,” said Dr. Kevin D. Hall, a senior investigator with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK).
