A new study investigates the link between processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, and trans fatty acids, to diseases such as cancer, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
"Introduction
Ultra-processed foods, as defined using the Nova
food classification system, encompass a broad range
of ready to eat products, including packaged snacks,
carbonated soft drinks, instant noodles, and ready-
made meals. 1 These products are characterised
as industrial formulations primarily composed of
chemically modified substances extracted from
foods, along with additives to enhance taste, texture,
appearance, and durability, with minimal to no
inclusion of whole foods. 2 "
As always, unsafe never means 100% chance to kill. Not wearing s seatbelt while driving is unsafe, but it doesn’t mean that you will not be able to survive to 90 is you’re lucky.
I agree with you, but using a relative that does something unhealthy that got old to prove a point is not really scientific nor right.
We absolutely know that smoking causes cancer is a really unhealthy habit, yet we see people that smoke reach very high age. However the average smoker lives a shorter life.
What is the definition of “processed” here? blended meat? high salt %? specific preservatives? artificial casing?

Also what definition of “safe”.
My grandpa eats at least one burger per week and he’s turning 90 next year. So obviously “safe” isn’t a measure of imminent and near term death?
