- amanaplanacanal 5y agoI hate all the talk around ultra-processed food. It’s never defined in a way that’s usable by the rest of us, and then they just assume that all ultra-processed food is the same.
- nepthar 5y agoI agree. I wish there some better way of defining this.
- brianmcc 5y agoThe article did link to a fairly decent definition to be fair: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/what_is_ultra-processed_food https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/what_is_ultra-processed_... Edit: that BBC page in turn links to this, which again looks helpful and reasonably credible from a cursory inspection but I don't endorse it in any further manner: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/nova https://world.openfoodfacts.org/nova
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoWow. Evidently a loaf of bread becomes ultra processed if you add preservatives to it. Nothing about that definition suggests there was any kind of science involved in this. “Nutrition science” is just the worst.
