The harsh reality of ultra processed food - with Chris Van Tulleken
We're in a new age of eating, but how is ultra processed food harming our bodies - and the world? This lecture was filmed at the Ri on 19 September 2023 through the generous support of Digital Science. The industrialisation and commercialisation of food have transformed our diets, whereby most of our calories now come from an entirely novel set of substances. Ultra Processed Food (UPF) now makes up 60% of the average diet in the UK and USA. It is highly processed, highly addictive, and largely unhealthy.
