Are some types of junk food worse than others?

Yes.

Some types of junk food can be worse than others depending on their ingredients and nutritional content.

Foods that are high in trans fats, like certain fried foods and commercially baked goods, are particularly harmful as they can increase bad cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease.

Sugary drinks and snacks can lead to weight gain and dental issues.

On the other hand, some junk foods might have slightly better nutritional profiles, such as baked chips or low-sugar snacks, but they should still be consumed in moderation.
