Hello, who eat a diet that's heavy in ultra-processed foods are getting a lot of added preservatives in their diet in addition to an overabundance of sugar. In ultra-processed foods, sugar makes up 21.1 percent of the calories, on average. In processed foods, sugar makes up only 2.4 percent of the calories, on average. So ultra processed foods can increase risk of several diseases.
