Deny, Denounce, Delay’: The Battle Over The Risk Of Ultra-processed Foods

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

Studies of UPFs show that these processes create the kinds of food — from snack bars to breakfast cereals to ready meals — that encourage overeating but may leave the eater undernourished. A recipe might, for example, contain a level of carbohydrate and fat that triggers the brain’s reward system, meaning you have to consume more to sustain the pleasure of eating it.

I am not going to subscribe to Financial Times to read this article! But, I will throw my two cents in (for what it is worth 🤪).
Processed foods are responsible for most of the poor health of Americans, and our “Food Industry “ has long since passed a point of no return in establishing it! Whole Foods is heart healthy, and I do not believe there is any disagreement about that.

FDA should put some restrictions on the use of salt in restaurants for the sake of people with heart health issues.
