That is what processed foods are.
They alter function and structure of cells, in addition to compromising the nature and function of the microbiome. The bacteria in your gut can get used to those foods. They will demand it if you don’t eat it at regular times (see cartoon on my website.)
If you are unable to stop eating junk, you must also look deep into your soul and ask yourself why you continue to indulge. Are there emotional/spiritual issues driving you?

Junk food consumption linked to increased risk for heart disease, early death
“USA Today (5/30, Bote) reports, “Two new studies…show that consuming convenient junk food has been linked to increased heart disease and early death.” One study involving “nearly 20,000 participants” revealed that “those who consumed more than four servings a day of ultra-processed foods had a 62% increased risk of early mortality.” Another study that tracked “nearly 100,000 people’s consumption of over 3,000 items…found a 12% increase in cardiovascular disease, 11% in cerebrovascular disease, which can result in strokes, and 13% in coronary heart disease.” Both studies were published in the BMJ.”
