How Bad Are Ultraprocessed Foods, Really?
- noemit 2y agoIt's a simplification. There's nothing "bad" about infant formula, but its clearly an ultraprocessed food that uses powdered milk that removes larger molecules from the milk. Sure, breast milk is better in most cases. Aside: BF is better mostly because it adjusts based on what the infant needs with the biofeedback component. Pumped milk is shown to be equal to formula because it breaks the biofeedback loop. There are tons of other uluraproessed foods that are fine too, and in certain cases great that we can manufacture them because they are beneficial in other ways. The elephant in the room is high calorie ultraprocessed food designed for fast consumption. In general, I'm on board, (I only eat real bread) but sometimes the people who rail against this stuff come off like luddites.
