[quote=Anonymous]Here's a question about UPF:

We make our own bread often. Homemade bread is never UPF because it has no additives and the ingredient list is super short. However, sometimes we make breads like milk bread or white sandwich bread -- not exactly healthy. But according to the Nova categorizations, these breads are not UPF. However, a loaf of a commercial, packaged whole grain bread *would* be categorized as UPF because commercial breads always have preservatives to help make them shelf stable (otherwise it would be impossible to sell commercial bread because it would go bad before it hit store shelves).

A system where a loaf of homemade milk bread loaded with refined wheat and sugar is considered more healthful than a loaf of a dense whole grain bread does not make sense to me. I get why we should all avoid foods like Oreos and Doritos (duh) but the Nova system starts to lose me when it categorizes store bought yogurt and bread as unhealthy simply because they have a few ingredients to sweeten or preserve them. I'm not saying I think flavored yogurts or breads with preservatives are the BEST foods, but it also doesn't make sense to me that they are the worst foods and to be avoided at all costs.[/quote]
