Research challenges the idea that all ultra-processed foods are inherently harmful, showing that people's perceptions and beliefs about food significantly influence their liking and overeating, often more than the food's actual nutritional content. The study suggests that focusing on food perceptions and motivations, rather than solely on processing levels, could lead to more effective and nuanced dietary policies and interventions.
