Why the UPF 'hysteria'?

The story mentions 'growing hysteria' around ultra-processed foods. This likely stems from numerous studies linking high UPF consumption to various health issues like obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. While these links are important, the dietitian suggests a more balanced view, focusing on overall diet rather than demonising an entire food category.
