Welcome! This is a space for people who want to limit or eliminate ultra-processed foods (UPFs) from their diet.
Scientific research has shown strong links between the chemicals and additives used by major food corporations and a range of negative health outcomes, including:

UPF? Ultra Processed Food? If so we don't eat any. We have quit touching those turds a few years ago and never looked back. Food as well as beverage.
Edit: We used to eat a lot of that, me more than my spouse and people just can't imagine the impact quitting that had on our health (more so on my own and on my and my weight). That and starting to walk a lot.
Thats great! have you noticed a change in your health since you cut all the UPFs out?
Not one change. Many. And important ones.
Simply put, I went from being an old wreck barely able to walk a few steps (fetching the mail at the door forced to rest for the rest of the day) to being an older but working person that is able to do almost anything I fancy. Nowadays, I take long daily walks without breaking a sweat and I enjoy those long walks so much I would feel bad not doing it ;)
So yeah, as far as I'm concerned over-processed food can go fuck themselves: I see those exactly as I see cigarettes and alcohol which are two other things I had to get rid of in my life, btw.
