    The problem isn’t with the processing, though. It’s too much sugar, too much of the wrong kind of fat, etc.

    It’s possible for a minimally-processed food to be worse for you than a highly-processed food due to the ingredients.

      Didn’t I just say that in the comment you replied to?

      Also, ultraprocessed food is a fixed term that refers to

      […] foods […] ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat industrial formulations made mainly with ingredients refined or extracted from foods and contain additives but little to no whole foods.

      It’s used as such in studies and reports.
