Are We Too Afraid of Ultra Processed Food? with Chris Van Tulleken

Are We Too Afraid of Ultra Processed Food? with Chris Van Tulleken

⚡️ Is it all or nothing when it comes to ultra-processed foods? Or can we have our cake and eat it too? There’s a lot of fear around UPFs, but is it doing any good?

⚡️ Dr Chris Van Tulleken is a BBC broadcaster and author of “Ultra Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn’t Food … and Why Can’t We Stop?”

⚡️ In this episode Chris and I dig into the science of ultra processed food and its effects on human health while asking - are we overcomplicating the matter?

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡︎ How worried you really need to be about additives, preservatives and artificial sweeteners in UPF

➡︎ How food companies make this stuff so addictive (and why it’s not your fault for eating too much)

➡ If adding vegetables to ultra processed meals can mitigate its damaging effects

➡︎ Whether UPF’s effects on the microbiome are overblown

➡︎ The good side of UPF and why it’s a valuable resource for many
