@shopverse17: The concern is that diets high in ultra-processed foods are associated with a number of major health problems, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. The issue isn't necessarily that eating a processed food occasionally is dangerous. The bigger concern is when these foods become a substantial part of someone's overall diet and begin replacing more nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and other minimally processed foods.
