    Doesn’t this mean they are looking for the wrong thing. The vitamin C is present in these ultra processed foods but it’s something else in them that causes the problem.

      I get what you’re thinking, Vitamin c, in an of itself isn’t bad, but artificially manufactured Vitamin c isn’t the same, it’s not from a naturally derived product, and it’s been studied that the fake stuff, used as a preservative, is harmful, the naturally occurring stuff, isn’t harmful. They suggest just reducing your processed foods intake, as much as possible to reduce exposure.
