The sentence “These are foods that you cannot make at home”...

Text for the items from 23 to 31.


1 Most Americans eat ultraprocessed foods every

day. These are foods that you cannot make at home

because they contain flavors and chemicals that change

4 the taste or feel of the food. Such food may also go

through preparation methods that are not possible in a

home kitchen. They are usually high in salt, sugar and fat.

7 Americans may eat them in the form of sugary cereals at

breakfast, frozen pizzas at dinner, and in‑between bites

like potato chips, sodas and ice cream. Ultraprocessed

10 foods make up about 60 percent of the American diet.

For children and teenagers, it is even higher – about

two‑thirds of what they eat. Scientists have connected

13 eating ultraprocessed foods to poor health results.

Being overweight is one such result and that may lead

to diabetes and heart disease. Other possible health

16 risks include depression and dementia. One recent

study suggested that eating these foods may raise the

risk of early death. Nutrition science is complex, though,

19 and most research so far has found connections – not

proof – regarding the health effects of these foods. Food

manufacturers argue that processing increases food

22 safety and food supplies. They say it also offers a low‑cost,

easy way to provide a diverse and nutritious diet.
