ELI5: what is problematic about "highly processed foods" - is it the ingredients or the processing ?
I've read that "highly processed foods" are unhealthy if eaten in high volume/frequently. In media coverage, I've seen stories profiling sugary breakfast cereals and snack foods, but isn't it the high percentages of sugar, salt, saturated fats, etc., that are the problem?
Is whole wheat bread "highly processed"? Is pureed vegetable soup? All Bran cereal?
What is it about "processing" that is problematic (versus the ingredients in many processed foods)?
