"The Trouble With America’s Ultra-Processed Diet"
"Concern is rising about the amount of ultra-processed foods in American diets ... the problem, nutrition researchers say, is that lots of healthy-seeming items - many breakfast cereals, soups and yogurts as well as granola - fall into that category. Recent studies have linked diets high in ultra-processed foods to increased risks of obesity, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and depression."
"When looking at product labels, choose items with fewer ingredients overall and try to avoid those with ingredients you don’t recognize."

Actually, the greater problem with ultra-processed foods is that they taste so good!,
processing that increases taste as well as store shelf life. That 24/7 advertising
helps create the greater appeal is a complementary problem.

Not looking at labels? You're risk tolerant, apparently.
And "Tomorrow is another day!" is probably your lifestyle.

Truth in advertising today
The label on paprika at a major grocery store:
"This product contains no significant nutrition."
So, I purchased another brand without the warning,
assuming that it
might have some nutrition.
