Can you eat ultra-processed foods and still be healthy? A dietitian analysed my weekly shop

🔮 There's growing evidence, external that a hefty proportion of the food we consume could be damaging to our health, with ultra-processed foods (UPFs) linked to a range of health problems.

First things first, what is a UPF? It depends who you ask. assertive
