Processed foods are chemically altered for longer shelf-life.
Heavily processed foods have a very homogeneous substance, which means they have fewer nutrients that the body needs.
To top it off, the substances they _do_ contain are unhealthy, and are processed faster, because the body has to do less work to separate the nutrients (because the nutrients are already... processed). Because the body does less work, we also burn less energy digesting the food.
