I think it’s because the ultra processed version has more sodium and other stuff in it, whereas cooking at home allows you to control the type and amount of ingredients, like salt for example. Processed food can also use HFCS whereas at home you might use regular sugar or even a sugar substitute. So at the end of the day, you get similar dishes but their nutritional content is different.
