The food industry needs to reformulate products to remove harmful additives and improve nutritional quality, rather than relying on ultraprocessed ingredients that may not be necessary.

The food industry often uses cosmetic additives to enhance the appearance of products, which can lead to a reliance on ultraprocessed foods that lack nutritional value.

The brain learns to associate the taste and caloric content of whole foods with feelings of satisfaction, while highly processed foods make it difficult to establish this connection.

The industrialization of the American food system has led to a reliance on processed foods, which has contributed to a decline in nutritional quality and health outcomes.

When consuming highly processed foods, the brain cannot effectively learn about nutrient content, leading to continued foraging for food even when satiated.

The food supply needs to be revised to improve health outcomes, focusing on taste and nutrition rather than just dietary restrictions.
