A practical way to identify an ultra-processed product is to check to see if its list of ingredients contains either food substances never or rarely used in kitchens (such as high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated or interesterified oils, and hydrolysed proteins), or classes of additives designed to make the final product palatable or more appealing (such as flavours, flavour enhancers, colours, emulsifiers, emulsifying salts, sweeteners, thickeners, and anti-foaming, bulking, carbonating, foaming, gelling and glazing agents). [2020] - David Raubenheimer

In nearly every instance, you can say one thing for certain about an REO: The lender wants to sell the property as quickly as possible. Buying an REO directly from a lender typically presents no more risk than buying directly from any other property owner. Normally, you can buy an REO much more safely than you could have bought the same property at its foreclosure sale. You might even be able to buy at a lower than market value price. You can find REOs in three different ways: follow up after a foreclosure sale; cold call lender REO personnel; locate Realtors who typically get REO listings. Rather than ask for a complete list of REOs, narrow your focus. Tell lenders what you're specifically looking for in terms of location, size, price range, floor plan, condition, or other features. In that way, a lender can answer your request without disclosing the full number of REOs within its inventory. [2003] - Gary W. Eldred
