Defending Ultra Processed Foods???

I am mortified from a report in the Guardian. Three out of five scientists on an expert panel suggest that ultra processed foods are being unfairly demonized.

There's been a lot of studies that have linked these ultra processed foods, including ice cream, sodas, and ready to eat meals meals to poor health, including an increased risk of cancer, weight gain and heart disease. The global consumption is on the rise of these products and these products now make up half of the average diet both here in the US and in the UK, and this group that was organized by the Science Media Center had headlines like "Ultra processed foods good as homemade fare".  "Ultra processed foods can be good for you, say nutritionists." "Ultra processed foods can sometimes be better for you, experts claim." And then they go on to talk about the fact that these three experts have been funded by major food companies. Seriously, how can they get away with this?
