Ultra-Processed People
Product Details
Traverse into the new age of eating. For the first time in human history, most of our calories come from a novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food. Despite its formal scientific definition, it can be distilled to this: if it’s wrapped in plastic and has at least one ingredient that you would not find in your kitchen, it’s UPF.
Ultra-processed foods are engineered to behave as addictive substances, thereby driving excess consumption. Linked to the leading cause of early death globally and the number one cause of environmental destruction, almost all our staple foods are UPF. Integrated into our food culture, it may be the only available and affordable food for certain demographics.
Examine the author's University College London self-experiment wherein he spent a month eating a diet of 80 percent UPF--typical for many children and adults in the U.S. Understand the origins, science, and economics of UPF to reveal its catastrophic impact on the human body and planet. Learn to implement real solutions to transform shopping, eating, and discerning and maximize your effectiveness as a nutrition expert.
