Summary
Nutrition label

61% Informative

About 60 percent of the U.S. diet comprises ultra-processed food.

Nearly every food item we buy at the store is processed in some way.

Eating even one serving a day is linked to cardiovascular disease, mental disorders, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and mortality.

Just because something is called ultra-processed, doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily "bad" for you.

Study shows that there’s a lot of variation in the category.

For people who have milk allergies or choose a vegetarian/vegan diet, soy milk is best nutrient-rich option.
