The secret of UPF

softness is one of the universal qualities of ultra-processed foods. They are literally prechewed. And you wonder why our jaws are now so small and cannot fit all of our teeth? Ultra-processed foods disintegrate into a bolus of slime. No teeth or jaw muscles are necessary. Bones grow when used. If they are not used, they do not grow. Therefore, the mouth remains small and all of our teeth do not fit.
