What are ultraprocessed foods? Are they bad for you?

Associated Press  

In the Trump administration’s quest to “Make America Healthy Again,” there may be no bigger target than ultraprocessed foods. That’s concerning because ultraprocessed foods have been linked to a host of negative health effects, from obesity and diabetes to heart disease, depression, dementia and more. Even if the science were clear, it’s hard to know what practical advice to give when ultraprocessed foods account for what one study estimates is more than 70% of the U.S. food supply. Last year, former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf broached the subject, telling a conference of food policy experts that ultraprocessed foods are “one of the most complex things I’ve ever dealt with.” But, he concluded, “We’ve got to have the scientific basis and then we’ve got to follow through.” How should consumers manage ultraprocessed foods at home?
