Maybe a slightly less extreme analogy would be highly processed food vs. traditional food... I feel like I'm just learning that white bread isn't really healthy and is nutritionally deficient after many years of vigorous consumption.
You take whole wheat, bleach it, then add nutrients back into it so you can have the original product... now call it Wonder Bread.
Michael Pollan commonly writes about this. https://michaelpollan.com/books/in-defense-of-food/
Worse: You take whole wheat, bleach it, then add some of the nutrients back in, and you call it "enriched".
