Ultra-Processed People: The New Science of Food
Ratings2
Average rating4.5
Really intersting and packed full of information. Well written, engaging science writing from an expert in his field. I really appreciated that he did not play the blame game, but outlined with empathy the situation that many people in the world are facing today.
He does not dole out unsolicited diet advice, he just writes down the scientific effects of ultra-processed foods on our biologies, with clear reasoning and evidence from published papers. He does go into the economics of the industry and the entertwining of the UPF industry with pharma and government, relationships which lead to higher profits and less regulation.
I found this to be an enlightening read, and have taken pains to change certain elements of my diet as a result. I think this is an important book at this point in our history.
