What is processed food? Why a No Processed Food diet is healthier!

Welcome to our channel, thank you for visiting, we appreciate your input, please leave us a comment or a question below.

Today we answer the question, what are processed foods, and the harmful effects on the body.

In a March, 2023  article by Harvard Public Health Magazine, the FDA and USDA are not doing their jobs in informing the public about the significant damage processed foods do to our bodies.

Federal food law is clear: It bans “any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render [a food] injurious to health.”

Salmonella and listeria contaminants kill an estimated 1,400 Americans per year. By contrast, 1,600 Americans die every day from chronic food illness, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Ultra-processed foods are industrial formulations of ingredients from substances extracted from foods or synthesized in laboratories. 

The economic cost of nutrition-related chronic diseases has been estimated at $16 trillion over the period from 2011 to 2020.


In a recent study, people on an ultra-processed diet ate an additional 500 calories per day and began to rapidly gain weight. 


When the same people were later assigned to eat the minimally processed diet, they lost weight.


This is an important finding, because it raises the possibility that it’s the additives and processing—not just the percentage of fat or sugar in a diet—that make us sick. 

More research is urgently needed.
