Debunking Myths About Ultra-Processed Foods

🎯 Reality Check: Sketchy 🚩

📝 Why: Yep, ultra-processed foods have additives (“chemicals”), but most are approved for safety by regulators like the UK Food Standards Agency and FDA in the US. The idea that these foods are packed with “toxins” isn’t supported by the evidence. According to the NHS, “There’s no evidence that additives approved for use in food cause harm at the levels allowed.” The danger is more about poor nutritional quality (like excess salt, sugar and fat), not “toxins”.
