There are Americans who are "obscenely obese and at the same time malnourished," Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says. He blames ultraprocessed food.
Look, there’s plenty of research indicating very negative effects of UPF on us, but it’s still an early field. The categorisation of UPF isn’t perfect no question, but that’s largely a result of the fact that, cooking processes combined with ingredients don’t make nice categories. We need ways to simplify the research for people who realistically aren’t going to look into the data, such as yourself.
If you’re really that opposed to the field, like your dismissive tone implies, then I’d advise not researching it, and eating what you like. But you aren’t going to erase the fact that obesity rises as exposure to UPF rises, that food preparation alters how our bodies process it, or that there are different health outcomes especially if you eat a lot of it. I’m afraid that’s science.
Ah brilliant! Case closed. Pack up everyone.

I wish they would
Milk GREAT! Sugar OK
Milk and sugar? WILL KILL YOU
If you put some sugar in milk, that’s not UPF.
So what you freeze it then? Ice cream is aparently UPF
