Comment Re:Need to Drop the Term "Ultra-Processed" (Score 0) 299

The fact that people have not learned the term (yet) is irrelevant. People can learn all kinds of new terms like "AI slop", "riz", etc.

But since you clearly are a leading researcher in the field of nutrition, perhaps you can point us to the papers that support your view of what the problem is? It is not my field, but from what I have read it is not so simplistic as you make it.

As I understand it, the issue "with just a salt", fat, sugar, etc. Is not in the individual components themselves, but in how they are used to make hyper-palatable foods that hijack you're brain's perceptions of nutritional value and satiation. Similarly, ultra-processed foods (which goes far beyond traditional bread or chopped meat) are the constructions of "food products" from industrial ingredients e.g; soylent, huel, Magic Spoon, "Wonderbread"... These foods seem to have little substance to them e.g; fiber or other difficult-to-digest/indigestible components; making them too easy/rapid to digest. This in turn seems to make them less filling, while also altering our microbiome (which do much of our digestion, moderates our appetite and makes vital nutrients).
