THE TRUTH ABOUT ULTRAPROCESSED FOODS (AND WHY THESE BRANDS ARE BEING SUED IN SAN FRANCISCO)
These 10 major companies — the ones behind our cereals, snacks, sodas, frozen meals, and “kid foods” — are now facing legal action for misleading marketing practices around what’s considered “healthy.”
The suit was filed against major food manufacturing companies including The Kraft Heinz Company, Mondelez International, The Coca-Cola Company, Nestle USA, General Mills, PepsiCo, Kellanova, WK Kellogg Co., Mars Incorporated, Conagra Brands, and Post Holdings.
But here’s the real issue:
Most ultraprocessed foods contain:
❌ Excess sugars
❌ Additives & preservatives
❌ Artificial colors/flavors
❌ Highly refined oils
❌ Low nutrient density
And research continues to link UPFs to:
• Higher rates of diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• Gut dysbiosis
• Hormone imbalance
• Mood & mental health challenges
This is why food as medicine matters.
Real food provides:
✅ Vitamins
✅ Minerals
✅ Phytonutrients
✅ Fiber
✅ Natural antioxidants
Your body recognizes real ingredients.
It struggles with chemical formulations.
This is not about restriction.
It’s about awareness + empowerment.
Eat more whole foods.
Cook more meals.
Support brands that value transparency.
Your health will thank you.
