[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rather than worry about what is/isn’t processed, I recommend just being focused on eating a ton of fiber. Fiber is very protective against colon cancer and I wouldn’t be surprised if the presence of processed foods isn’t actually as damaging as the lack of fiber most people have when they eat significant processed foods.[/quote]

For a while, my goal was basically to just look at the protein and fiber in any packaged food and always pick the ones with more fiber and protein and then to try to get 5-9 fruits and vegetables a day.  I can’t quite maintain that but I feel like this is actually a pretty easy way to eat that will basically lead you in the right direction.   I think if you focus on 25 grams of fiber a day, you’ll probably be pretty healthy (although might need more protein depending on how you’re getting the fiber).

Some of the underlying studies about highly processed food are pretty shocking in not differentiating between something like Cheetos and something like Dave’s bread.  [/quote]
