I think it's perceived as less healthy because of the ingredients/additives that go into it.

"Processed cheese is made with real cheese and mixed with emulsifying salt and other ingredients such as (fat added as cream, anhydrous milkfat or dehydrated cream; acids; artificial color; enzyme-modified cheese for flavor; antimycotic agents; and lecithin as an anti-sticking agent), and is pasturized. The emulsifiers assist with the smooth melting ability of processed cheese."

"Natural cheese is made by removing water from milk with lemon juice, vinegar, or bacteria. Then rennet is mixed in with the curd that resulted causing coagulation (I think). Natural cheese is a bit lumpier and separates when melted, and its taste develops with age."

I don't know if there is any scientific proof to say which is actually healthier.

To me processed cheese just tastes like shit, that's why I don't eat it. I also find it crazy that processed cheese doesn't have to be refridgerated...
