Today’s episode dives into the impact of ultra-processed foods on our health, habits, and society. It’s sort-of a review of the book Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken.
Big ideas we’ll be covering:
- Why ultra-processed foods dominate our diets and their unique addictive qualities.
- The role of food manufacturers in shaping what we eat and how it’s made.
- How ultra-processed foods affect satiety, caloric intake, and broader health outcomes.
The big question we’re answering: How have ultra-processed foods reshaped the way we eat, and what can we do to take control of our health?
