Fritos are highly refined, industrially manufactured, and have plenty of processed additives. I think they are plainly ultra processed


Huh?

The ingredients in Fritos are corn, oil, and salt. What processed additives? Is extruding cornmeal mixed with water through a die ultra processing?


The oil used is itself ultra processed and is not a natural food or whole food. It's a lipid isolated from the original food by a series of industrial processes.


The NOVA classification for canola oil is Category 2.

This is spinning wildly into seed oil crank stuff.


My two sentences above are simple and verifiable with any reasonable definition of "whole food" or "natural food".

Do you know how canola oil is made?


Yes I'm familiar with the seed oil paranoia.
