But it costs twice as much...
So it costs $3 instead of $1.50? I think people buy sandwich bread because they prefer it and not because of cost.
For anyone that's been confused by all the disjoint and contradictory nutritional information that's bombarding us these days, I'd recommend two books: (Metabolical - Robert H. Lustig) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53240367-metabolical (Drop Acid - David Perlmutter) https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/57505860 They are both new books, by two different authors, they both rally against processed food (and talk…

However much I'd like to alter my diet to be more healthy, including flavored nuts or bread as ultraprocessed means I have nearly zero chance avoiding a sizable portion of what academic scientists label as ultraprocessed. These studies and press rel…
I think the major problem is that no one can define what "processed" means in any consistent or objective sense. It's just a retcon'd category of things people already think of as unhealthy.
Processed can be fine as long as you use healthy ingredients. Ultra-processed is never fine.
