BITESIZE | Why You Can’t Stop Eating Ultra-Processed Foods | Dr Chris Van Tulleken #480

About this episode

Here in the UK, ultra-processed food makes up 60 percent of the average diet. The trouble is, says today’s guest, UPFs have been shown to be the leading cause of early death in the world, ahead of tobacco. Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. Today’s clip is from episode 414 of the podcast with Dr Chris van Tulleken. Chris is a practising infectious diseases doctor, one of the UK’s leading science broadcasters, and author of the book Ultra-Processed People. Over consumption of ultra-processed foods may be the biggest public-health crisis of our time and, in this clip, he shares why he believes we eat stuff that isn’t really food and why can’t we stop.
