Not all ultra-processed foods are created equal: a review
The Nova system was proposed as a means of categorising food products according to the degree and methods of processing. The term ‘ultra-processed’ was used to indicate foods with the most extensive processing. When applied to research cohorts, foods in this category have shown widely heterogeneous associations with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions, with some foods associated with increased risk and others associated with significantly reduced risk, raising important considerations for public policy. The purpose of this review is to summarise the findings of studies analysing the associations of ultra-processed foods with the risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Out of 309 records found on PubMed, 14 publications that differentiated between ultra-processed food groups were included in the review. Positive associations between ultra-processed food consumption and adverse health outcomes have been found for processed meats, sweetened beverages (both sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened), and fats, spreads and sauces. Other ultra-processed foods have been associated with lower risk of these conditions, mainly breads, biscuits and breakfast cereals, and whole grains. Randomised clinical trials show that replacing animal products with plant-based foods, even when processed, leads to health benefits. These studies suggest that the Nova system may be improved by differentiating between animal and plant foods.

"While the meat and dairy industries may be excited about the new food pyramid, the American public should not be; the guidance on protein and fats ... is, at best, confusing, and, at worst, harmful to the one in four Americans who are directly impacted by the [guidelines] through federal nutrition programs."

> We can’t be constantly exposed to stimulation… It’s important to be bored, to be calm, and to let the [neural] system relax
> excessive attention, information overload, having to pay attention to many things at once… This shortens our attention span because our brain can’t maintain focus for very long periods

The researcher has published a new book that unpacks the inner workings of the ancestral neural GPS that allows us to locate ourselves in the here and now, recall memories, and imagine future worlds

When scientists graded the evidence, they found the most convincing or highly suggestive evidence linked diets rich in ultra-processed foods with increased risks for premature death, cardiovascular disease, mental health disorders, diabetes, obesity, and sleep problems.

What Happens to Your Body When You Eat Ultra-Processed Foods Regularly
Ultra-processed foods are primarily composed of chemically modified substances derived from food, including sugar, salt, fat, artificial colors and flavors, and preservatives.
Researchers have found various health risks related to these foods, including heart disease, mental health disorders, cancers, dementia, and diabetes.
