I’m not saying Oreos aren’t ultra processed, because obviously they are, but the ability to hold up in water is actually something UP carbs lack. Ultra processed snacks are lots of food pieces that have been “glued” back together with sugars or whatever, so they typically dissolve in water very easily. A piece of homemade bread on the other hand, holds up relatively well to moisture.
