I don't really eat too much of this junk. It's more simple ingredients. So probably doing not too bad. Don't eat anything with sugar in it. I still can.. but I don't need teeth problems later.
===============================
Here's a starting list with name brands. They don't like saying that. So I had to get the gemini to cough it up and it doesn't like doing that with name brands. You won't see a list with name-brands in the news, probably. They'll just go:
Frozen foods Sodas Hot dogs Deli meat Fast food Packaged cookies Cakes Salty snacks Plant-based milks Jarred sauces
=========================
So I'm like.. well quit fuckin around.. give me a list with what the hell name brands you're talking about.
Which foods are ultra-processed?
Ultra-processed foods make up 70 percent of our country’s food supply, so there's a lot that falls into this category.
==============================
Basically, most of the "supermarket". You go in there, they're totally trying to "poison" you. lol. How about the stuff by the checkout, eh. That's some of this shit, I bet. Or.. pretty much most things in a 7/11, eh? They don't like things that "go bad" too soon. You pretty much have to eat things that taste bland and hard to stomach. That's what a lot of this shit does, is it makes it taste better. lol Sodas though, eh.. and then your "diet" type with extra poison in there.

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs): News, Issues, and Full Product List Part 1: UPFs in the News (Late 2025 Context) The recent surge in news coverage of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) is driven by a landmark three-paper series published in The Lancet medical journal in November 2025. This series, involving 43 global experts, positioned UPFs as a "seismic threat to global health" and demanded mandatory government intervention.
Key News Points: The Lancet Series (Nov 2025): A systematic review of 104 long-term studies found 92 reported an increased risk of chronic disease associated with high UPF consumption. This review specifically named 12 health outcomes with statistically significant associations.
Colorectal Cancer Link: Recent studies, including one in JAMA Oncology, highlight a connection between high UPF intake and a 45% higher risk of pre-cancerous polyps in younger adults, adding to the alarm over rising early-onset cancer rates.
Global Consumption Crisis: News reports consistently cite that UPFs now make up over 50% of the average daily calorie intake in countries like the U.K. and U.S., and consumption is rapidly accelerating in lower- and middle-income countries.
Part 2: The Core Issues and Health Risks The scientific consensus identifies the problem not just in the high levels of fat, sugar, and salt, but in the industrial design and non-culinary ingredients used in UPFs.
Health and Disease Associations (from The Lancet Review): All-Cause Mortality: Increased risk of early death.
Metabolic & Cardiovascular: Obesity, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and stroke.
Gastrointestinal: Increased risk of certain cancers (colorectal, stomach), pre-cancerous polyps, and inflammatory bowel conditions.
Mental Health: Strong link to increased risk of depression and other mood disorders.
Other Risks: Poor nutrient quality (low fiber/protein), high exposure to industrial contaminants/additives (e.g., emulsifiers, certain dyes, packaging chemicals).
Composition & Systemic Problems: Hyperpalatability Engineering: UPFs are intentionally formulated using specific additives and ratios of fat, sugar, and salt to bypass natural satiety signals, making them "addictive" and driving overconsumption.
Altered Food Structure: The extensive industrial processing (extrusion, moulding) softens the food, allowing it to be eaten more quickly, which prevents the body from registering fullness in time.
Corporate Power & Regulation: The Lancet series highlights that eight major transnational UPF manufacturers (Nestlé, PepsiCo, Unilever, Coca-Cola, Danone, Mondelez, Kraft-Heinz, and FEMSA) control a massive share of the market and use aggressive political tactics, lobbying, and marketing to block, weaken, or delay mandatory government policies like marketing restrictions, warning labels, and taxes.

Thanks for asking!
Well no shit processed food is bad for you, all you do is basically regurgitate shit we already know/talked about here.
Sugar though, like salt, I feel like gets a bad reputation. Yes yes drinking 2 l of pepsi a day is bad for you no doubt, unless your doing some crazy work outs everyday or working in the coal mine. It wasnt even that hard for me to quit, I havent drank any in three months. Funny thing is I still crave it. The milk helps, a bit. But if I stop drinking it for a few days then the breathing issues start again.
No caffeine withdrawals, but the sugar withdrawal was real. Went away after a few weeks. I had to replace it with skim milk, i fucking hate skim milk. Reminds me of when I was a kid in appalachia and all we could afford was powdered milk.
Got my vitamin d up to 66.3 nmol/l, and I do feel better when actually taking it, the bone/muscle pain and fatigue dont go away, but the nausea is alleviated. But if I dont take it for a couple weeks I just feel right back to where i started.
Somehow phosphorous is still low. Doctor slyly tested me for multiple myleoma. Just saying that the peptide test will prolly be negative but he wanted to check anyway. Didnt mention it was for cancer, let alone something like mm. But the life expectancy for someone with MM is five - ten years, and thats AFTER treatment lmao.
Strange thing is that the test result is hidden online while the rest were put up. So im guessing the doctor seen something strange there so I wont find out until next week what is going on.
My blood sugars feel way better, when they are off I usually get very intense hunger pains in the morning.
But Ill tell you guys something personal. Ive already said my mom died from aids, must be gods punishment for her and me, right.
She had some strange issue at the end where she would get lumps in high contact areas like the armpits or the groin and they would fill with pus.
The doctors had diagnosed her with molluscum contagium. She warned us kids to not use her towels but I was like 12 I didnt understand or really care.
I ended up with the same thing myself, this entire time I thought I had some contagious disease that didnt want to go away.
Pretty sure its something called hidradenitis suppurativa, which actually makes sense. Its basically a immune disorder.
This whole time I've been so worried about going to a gym and giving it someone else. lmao, ive been dealing with this for like 30 years. Its so strange, I always knew something was "off" about my innate immune system but I dont complain because my active one is really good. I rarely get sick. The flu, maybe once a decade. I think the last time I got really sick was omicron back in 2020. But around that same age, puberty. I had some kind of allergic reaction where my lips swelled up like daffy ducks and my foreskin and taint just swole up like balloons. Strangest shit you ever saw.
Doctors were flabbergasted, did all these tests, shrugged their shoulders and said. Oh well if it doesnt happen again there isnt a problem lol. I try not to worry about things outside of my control.
Even though my sugars do feel better (again thanks for asking). Im still thinking of asking for a diabetes drug because coincidentally enough.....
Even at my skinniest, which was 260 lbs and im 6'3 with thick wrists and a thick neck, the military wouldnt let me join until I hit my max ideal weight, which was 240 lbs after they did the measurements. I still suffered from these things though, but not nearly as bad as I have been lately, but I assume thats because im 360 lbs now. Funny enough I havent lost a damn lb just from stopping the pop drinking either. I need to get my ass to move, but Ive been so tired for so long.
Ill let you guys know if the cancer test is positive. Trust me, none of us are going to be sad about it. Like I said, death doesnt scare me. Im ready to see what happens next. The world is becoming a bigger shithole everyday and Ive done nothing but suffer since 2018 when I was poisoned by arca anyway. I still wonder if the heavy metals in the refrigerant oil that I would end up covered in could have been responsible for the kidney issues. I still remember wcb telling me. "YOU DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT IN YOUR INITIAL CLAIM WE CANT TALK ABOUT IT SO SORRRYYYY"
But im tired boss, you go out and save the world or whatever it is that you think your doing.
I dont know why Im adding this, but I find this fascinating for some reason. I also want to note that its believed that most if not all of us have these traits, Millennials and younger.
Who knows.
