"Ultra-Processed Foods: The Hidden Culprit Behind Weight Gain and Health Risks"
TL;DR Summary
Experts warn that ultra-processed foods undergo a "predigestion" process, making them less filling and leading people to consume more calories without feeling full, contributing to health problems like obesity and cancer. These foods, which make up over 70% of the US food supply, lack essential nutrients and bypass the stomach's stretch receptors, tricking eaters into overeating. Despite their prevalence, consuming real, whole foods is crucial for maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding the negative effects of predigested foods.
