It's not you it's the food.
Chances are, if you're eating something that came wrapped in plastic and contains a funky ingredient you don't have in your kitchen, it's most likely - almost definitely - ultra-processed food, or UPF : the novel set of substances that, despite failing to meet any traditional definition of ''food,'' make up more than half of a typical diet in North America.
Chris Van Tulleken is a scientist, doctor, award-winning BBC broadcaster, and researcher of UPF. In Ultra-Processed People, he takes us along on his scientific, medical, culinary and cultural journey into the system that supplies our calories, speaking to the leading experts on food and processing from academia, medicine, agriculture, and, most importantly, the food industry itself. Presenting for the first time the full story to how UPF is designed and marketed to be addictive, van Tulleken demonstrates that it is, globally, the primary driver of early death and environmental destruction.
A kind of ''anti-diet'' book, ''this fast-paced and bracing critique turns the traditional medical focus on individual habits away from you and onto the booming UPF industry itself, marshaling the latest evidence, and distilling what you can do to healthily co-exist in an ultra-processed world.
