The Washington Post published an interesting article recently about ultra-processed foods: “What are ultra-processed foods? What should I eat instead?” by Anahad O’Connor September 27, 2022.
According to O’Connor, “Ultra-processed foods are extra tasty concoctions that we eat every day. They are also linked with chronic diseases and a higher risk of early death.”
What O’Connor doesn’t seem to know however, is that ultra-processed foods also contribute to the obesity crisis that followed the 1957 introduction of the mass-produced excitotoxic – brain damaging – free glutamate component of MSG developed specifically for use in food, see: http://truthinlabeling.org/blog/2023/02/14/a-short-explanation-of-the-obesity-epidemic/
