[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really frustrated by the advocacy around “highly processed” foods. This morning I looked in my kitchen and realized I have three forms of shelf stable oats. Steel cut, rolled, and Cheerios. Are they nutritionally different? I have no idea! I mean the Cheerios are just ground up into dust and mushed into Os, right? Is that really worse than rolling them flat? How do I tell? I don’t understand at all why yogurt is not “highly processed.” It seems to me like highly processed milk? If I make a fake Frappuccino with xanthan gum in my kitchen, is it highly processed now? I want to give my family healthy foods, but this “highly processed” thing is ridiculously opaque and hard to follow. This feels as helpful as in fifth grade when I learned I should eat 11 bowls of cereal a day, lol. [/quote] Keep reading, you will figure it out. "Processing" is something that is done to the raw material of the food. [/quote]
