Research is lacking. Some studies are lumping store bought twinkies with vegetarian meats — which are completely different foods (and even in the fake meat category the preservatives, sodium levels, and other ingredients wildly vary).
The term “processed” Is being latched on to by the media without a clear definition of what that means/includes or clear research into the roots of what is a processed food and what’s in it that’s bad for you and why. It’s a useless “catch all” term.
As well as such minimally processed foods like tofu, seitan and tempeh. Basically what the study decided was "ultra processed" seems to be a crap-shoot based on the article.
Ive commented elsewhere before that technically multivitamins and whey protein powder are ultraprocessed.
Its meaningless, if you want to learn to eat healthy track your macros for 6 months using an App.
As a vegetarian who can be too tired to do much of anything after work, thank god.
