Whole foods are generally better.

But the level of processing doesnt define wether a food is healthy or not. Compare the nutritional info on pringles vs regular potato chips. Its almost exactly the same despite one being "ultra processed" and one being "Potatoes, salt, oil" Neither is a health food. Multivitamins and protein powder are ultraprocessed, pork belly isnt.

Learning how to read nutrition labels is something too few people know how to do.
