A new study investigates the link between processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, and trans fatty acids, to diseases such as cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
As always, unsafe never means 100% chance to kill. Not wearing s seatbelt while driving is unsafe, but it doesn’t mean that you will not be able to survive to 90 is you’re lucky.
"Introduction
Ultra-processed foods, as defined using the Nova
food classification system, encompass a broad range
of ready to eat products, including packaged snacks,
carbonated soft drinks, instant noodles, and ready-
made meals. 1 These products are characterised
as industrial formulations primarily composed of
chemically modified substances extracted from
foods, along with additives to enhance taste, texture,
appearance, and durability, with minimal to no
inclusion of whole foods. 2 "

What a vague definition that totally misses the specifics that matter. There’s an overwhelming variety of food additives.
Do you know where they eat some of the most processed food in the world? Japan. Some of the highest life expectancy in the world.
What are they doing differently? Without knowing what exactly the commonalities are, there is no value to this study.
