Ultra-processed foods now make up as much as 70% of the American diet, raising growing concerns among health experts.

 

Extensively industrialized and packed with additives, these foods are convenient—yet their links to serious health issues continue to mount.

 

The American Heart Association recently warned that a high consumption of ultra-processed items increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

 

Not every ultra-processed food is equally harmful—some, like low-sodium whole-grain breads, unsweetened yogurts, and high-fiber cereals, can be part of a balanced diet.

 

However, foods such as sugary drinks, packaged snacks, and processed meats remain among the worst choices.

 

Experts stress moderation, urging people to prioritize whole ingredients—fruits, veggies, lean proteins—while making smarter, limited use of processed foods.

 

A balanced approach remains key to protecting your health.
