  1. Yeah, sulfates and various preserving materials aren't good long term. One of those cases of very modest consumption. Though bacon is practically everywhere now.
  2. I wonder if it's sugar in general or HFCS. I have a feeling it's the later given its plethora of negative health qualities.
  3. Same with if it's HFCS or not related into it.

The most dangerous processed foods are also made so cheap and thus easier to consume.

I misremembered slightly, overall biggest impact were the top 2:

  1. processed meat/poultry/seafood
  2. natural and artificially sweetened beverages
