Is there a difference between highly processed and ultra processed foods?
There is no inherit difference between highly processed and ultra processed foods, at least not in America, in my opinion.
Anything that can be pumped full of chemicals and made cheaper, will continue to do so. All so that companies can save money, and always at the expense of the consumer.
Why we think foods taste different as we age
I'm sure there have been plenty of times where you ate something on a whim from your youth. Lets say a chocolate bar, a bag of chips, or some other junk food. A lot of times we hear people say oh, my taste buds changed this used to be my favorite snack as a kid.
When in reality the chemicals they use to make those products addictive have changed, so you are literally tasting the difference. When you ate a burger from a fast food chain years ago, it tasted one way, versus how it tastes today.
Because the FDA or one of the third party organizations they all to green light chemicals and preservatives, have more than likely given some company access to even cheaper things to add into our food.
Our food and drug administration works off getting bribes on the back end versus up front, a back handed way to avoid breaking any bribery laws. But it is still unethical and a crime against humanity.
Why worry about ultra processed foods
The main cause for concern is that they are cheaper and make up 50-60% of the every Americans daily diet. With high amounts of fats, sugars, and mystery chemicals its only a matter of time before disease creeps in.
One of the leading reasons, we see a high amount of heart disease and other chronic diseases, is because most people are constantly eating foods low in nutrients needed to lead a healthy life.
Where there is inflammation disease will follow and these companies make it all to easy for us to fall victim to their profit margin.
