Some truth in empty calories

Consuming only soda, doughnuts, and hot dogs could lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies and lead to poor health. Evidence shows that nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and leans proteins, can improve your health.

Empty calories are presented in a way that causes a belief that natural foods are inherently good, and processed ones are inherently bad. It is false. For example, honey lacks macronutrients and breaks down in your body, just like soda.
