Dr Chris van Tulleken on Ultra-Processed Food

About this episode

This week Gabby is joined by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/doctorchrisvt/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Chris van Tulleken</a>, author of <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/ultra-processed-people/chris-van-tulleken/9781529160222" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn’t Food … and Why Can’t We Stop?</em></a><em> </em>Poor diet has overtaken tobacco as the leading cause of early death, and so they discuss what ultra-processed food is and how we can easily identify it, how it has been designed to keep us eating it, and why we should always look beyond health claims on packaging. Chris also shares why it's not his intention to tell people what to eat, but rather it is his mission is to expose the food industry for what it is, and take away some of the shame and stigma around what we eat and what we are feeding our families.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
