  1. Ok is smoking worse than eating ultraprocessed food? Probably smoking.
    If you smoke until you’re 40 you have damaged all your major organs. The damage is done.
    How about processed foods on damaging organs? And at what age? The poisoning they referred too is a scare tactic. Take probiotics daily speed your digestive system up, helps with good bacteria. A society eating poorly will still pass from genetics more so than food consumed.
