  • I believe you’re basing that off of pseudoscience.

    An ultra-processed food (UPF) is a grouping of processed food characterized by relatively involved methods of production. There is no simple definition of UPF, but they are generally understood to be an industrial creation derived from natural food or synthesized from other organic compounds.[1][2] The resulting products are designed to be highly profitable, convenient, and hyperpalatable, often through food additives such as preservatives, colourings, and flavourings.[3] UPFs have often undergone processes such as moulding/extruding, hydrogenation, or frying.[4]

    What processes contribute to fat cells stocking lipids, and/or the replication of fat cells, and how do they relate to “ultraprocessed food”?

    Which aspects of “ultraprocessed food” affect these processes, and which are harmless part of human food that has existed for thousands of years? Which aspects also affect “natural foods”, such as pesticides and artifical hormones? Are there any studies supporting your hypothesis that aren’t merely correlations based on socioeconomic biases?


  • I get what you mean, I’m just arguing that there is too much focus on “health marketing”, instead of important things like macros and regulating known carcinogens.

    If I eat a mcdouble and a diet coke, I’m eating much healthier than if I ate a whole rotissery chicken with potato wedges and a glass of apple juice. Calories and reducing sugar intake are the most important things.
