There is a lot more than flavour and preservatives in processed food.
The difference in texture
The refined sugars in processed are nothing like natural sugars in raw food
Industrially hydrogenated fats are not the same as naturally hydrogenated fats (margarine is not coconut oil)
Additionally there are the traces of the machines used in the processing. The chemicals that make the plastic hoses soft (who's name escapes me) are coming under scrutiny now for being very bad for us.

I am quite unfamiliar with the machinery traces and won't comment on that - but, to your point, it's not that other issues don't exist - it's that these issues are enough to show how harmful processed food can be.
