No. What I say is if we introduce a public health policy, then we need to take human behavior and adherence rates into account. Example: Abstinence is 100% effective against STDs and teenage pregnancy in any controlled setting. That does no

Some do, some don't. Worse is that artificial sweeteners increase feed conversion efficiency (an effect which has been known since 1960s experiments with rats and Cyclamate), and are for this reason frequently added to animal feed. For

Bread is a bit of an exception here, as it undergoes extensive mechanical (milling), biochemical (fermentation) and thermal (baking) processing. Yet it does not count as ultra-processed. Bread is made from dough, which is mainly made from f
