"Unveiling the Truth About Ultra-Processed Foods and Their Impact on Your Health"

Ultraprocessed foods are created through manufacturing processes that "predigest" raw food ingredients, bypassing the body's signals of fullness and leading to overeating. These foods, which make up a large portion of the US food supply, have been linked to weight gain and various health risks. The process of breaking down and reassembling food may also lead to a loss of essential nutrients. While some food processing can be beneficial, the extensive processing involved in ultraprocessed foods poses challenges for individuals trying to control their weight and maintain a healthy diet.
