There's no reason why a certain preservative can't have positive health effects. Pretty sure a lot of them do, we just don't talk about it. Essentially this leads to a useless circular definition: "processed" food is bad for your health because we define "processed" as being bad for your health. A statement "unprocessed food is good for your health" contains zero information.

"Food that is bad for your health" is not the definition used in the studies I linked. They provide their actual definitions, and measure health outcomes from varying levels of reported consumption. So if you want to access a non-zero amount of information, the bottom of that article has links to the full-text studies.
