"Uncovering the Truth About Pre-Digested Foods and Their Impact on Health"

TL;DR Summary
Food manufacturers are using a chemical process called hydrolysis to create pre-digested edibles that are cheaper and tastier, but may not be great for human health. This process breaks down core crops like potatoes and corn into their most basic molecular structures, resulting in a slurry that is then flavored and molded into favorite treats. Consuming these ultra-processed foods can lead to overeating and bypass the body's fullness signals, contributing to concerns about the impact on human health. Experts recommend opting for fresh or canned fruits and vegetables, nuts, and beans over ultra-processed snacks.
