NEW YORK, May 13 (Xinhua) -- Studies show that eating a lot of ultra-processed foods like frozen pizza is associated with a higher risk of developing chronic diseases, while health experts say it's a good idea to limit your intake, but that you don't have to avoid them at all costs, reported The Washington Post on Tuesday.
Ultra-processed foods make up about 70 percent of all food items sold in U.S. grocery stores, and they are tasty, convenient and affordable. One can include some processed foods in the diet and still be healthy. That's because they're not all created equal, according to the report.
