Ultra processed, high sugar, fatty, and fast food with chemical colors and flavorings are absolutely everywhere in the U.S. They are served to children in schools, adverts everywhere, and these products are cheaper and more readily available to lower income adults and children. They are dangerous. Cancer, obesity, neurological issues, migraines, renal problems, cardiac issues, liver problems. Learn from our failures keep these out of your, and your family's diets at any cost. It's not worth it.
Noonsense.... you need to move your ass more and yu will be healthy no matter how much ceap you eat.... eat well and make exercise... stop banning food because mentally retarded politicians don't know wtf are they talking about. 😤
one of the most shocking things i learnt about from an american was about "vegetable deserts" in cities. where especially in poor neighborhoods its almost impossible to find anything other than fast food or ultra processed food. america really is a dystopia (if you're poor)
One of the best examples he gives in his book (or the podcast series he made) about UPFs is those 'fat free yoghurts': food manufacturers remove the fats and, with them, the structure and "mouth feel" (and the fat soluble vitamins) of real yoghurt. They aren't going to, then, replace that with _more_ expensive ingredients, they use processed, hydrogenated substances and 'chemical foams' etc instead.
Simple. You don't have any coin, connections, crews, clout, computer code, control, communities, nor opportunities. That means you have NO POWER. 😂🤣😂 No influence. No voice. Nothin'. And those without these things... well... do nothing. That's what nothing-burgers are all about: nuttin'. 💵🍔☠️🍔💵
UPF food needs the Latin American warning hexagons here in the UK. When you are on the street look around and look how fat everyone is. It sorta disgusts me.
I’m doing something about it. I don’t eat any of that stuff anymore. Ive completely cut it off my diet and have no desire to re-introduce it back for the rest of my life. I feel so much better these days. It’s an actual miracle. Awareness is one thing. Action is another. The latter is ultimately up to individuals.
Someone on my Facebook posted a photo of a bag of snacks that had a label saying: Causes reproductive harm. He was outraged, but not in the way we all expected. He didn't want to "think about that sh** when he is eating them." He thought those labels shouldn't be allowed. This is one of our issues in America and that is how he will use his vote.

Eat like your grandparents: Eat WHEN you're hungry, not at set times or beause you've never questioned what you've been told. Eat whole foods - meat, fish, dairy and green vegetables. Don't bother with nutrition trends like vegan/veggy. They're not healthy long term.
Heart disease is the number one killer of people today and cancer is number two. Being over weight is the number one factor leading to an early death. People who are over weight have higher risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences. There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese. What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications. Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks. Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods
Bread should have only the ingredients you’d use at home in your very own kitchen. In other words, the same few wholesome ingredients your late elders used to make homemade bread before everyone began buying it at the store. It only takes 3 to 4 simple ingredients to make bread and it should not be cottony soft. A good quality bread should not feel light and incredibly soft. If it is it is certainly ultra processed bread. Aldi does carry 3 ingredient bread if you’re interested in avoiding commercial ultra processed sliced bread.
What a joke of production.. This fact has been known for decades. The host doesn't know what she is talking about and tells the guest to complain to the producer. The guest says humans have been processing food for millions of years.
Part of the issue is our workaholic culture. I would love to have time during the day to prepare nutritious meals especially for lunches but my employer only gives 30 minutes for lunch as so many companies do. Weekends are taken up with errands, cleaning and other home projects so still not a lot of time for meal prep. Having said that, I don't eat fast food and try to limit the processed foods in our household but prepping and cooking takes time and energy.
@@AndyTerra I think you mean 'Reasons' Non biased point of view as I do indeed cook from scratch, eat very little UPF's and have time and money for doing so, which is all REASONS for making healthy eating so hard for people these days. I empathise and agree that other people have so much on their plate these days - meant to 100% commit to the home and 100% commit to their work place...something has to give and it is people's happiness and health unfortunately.
Living in Thailand, one of the many developing' countries, ultra processed foods are lining shelves in our supermarkets and very little attempts are made by the govt to address this phenomenon. A good portion is imported from developed world and an even greater number is our own. Big businesses here are really good at transforming 'real' food into something else 😢
Yep. Organic is much better, for a cost! And not an awful lot of variety in the organic ranges. Fruit isn't good for people who are very overweight/obese either. Too much fructose.
Have not eaten red meats like bacon and sausages in about a year now. White bread I try to avoid, or any cereals with loads of sugar. Anything with artificial colours in is a no no. Never touched energy drinks. Sweets not eaten in years. Try to eat 5 a day of fruit/veg, and drink water. Wholegrains are good. High fibre foods. My last McDonalds was years and years ago now and so was my last coke. Just avoid it. Usually whatever is popular and near the checkouts or end of the aisles in shops is unhealthy.
first time know ultra-processed food is specialized for poor low-income communities. I thought food like cholochate, cakes, and doughnuts which cost a lot were for high-income people. I can only afford the basic necessities, like bread, vegetables, and sparkling water.
I think it depends on which country you are from. You are far better off on your basic foods. What was eaten in the UK prior to 1970's was far better for people as long as there was enough to go round. Like most things, best grown and made at home to avoid ultra processed bread at supermarkets, home grown veg where possible to avoid the harmful pesticides and fungicides. Supermarket meat is not ideal in western countries as mass produced - best at butchers. So here is where even the basics cost more so richer people can afford to look after their health more.
The doctor says there is no regulation of unhealthy food in the UK. Yes there is. They don't allow food to be sold with artificial flavoring or artificial coloring or high fructose corn syrup in the UK but those are ubiquitous in food sold in the United States.
I have seen food items with this in here in UK (unfortunately my older teenagers insist on bringing home UPF ! ) Often the food has other corn syrups and glucose syrups in too. Found out recently there are about 60 words for sugar in ingredient lists - so they like to sneak it in one way or the other! Very little real meaningful regulation in UK. They stick a sugar tax on items and then the manufacturers replace it with (cheaper) sweeteners which are actually much worse for our health - we would have been better off with the sugar! It's all smoke and mirrors and slight of hand. As long as they get our money they don't care about morals and health.
Make it law that any ultra-processed food must be clearly labelled as such. The UK can set its own food labelling standards and can no longer blame the EU for such things.
Yes, I see there are countries like Brazil or Mexico amongst others that have this big black hexagon shaped warning label on the front! We should have that here.
Make a law and LIMIT of sugar, salt, preservatatives, etc a product can have. The cost of not banning is much higher than the cost of eating healthy on our society
In high- and middle-income nations, I believe the rise of ultraprocessed foods is mainly driven by consumerism. Marketing plays a vital role here. If you can't control production, at least control marketing while improving consumer awareness. On the other hand, in low-income areas, it's their cheap price and the convenience they offer. Coming from a low-income country myself, a large part of our workforce spends at least 12 hours a day and 6 days a week at work, yet many can only afford instant noodles and canned foods for meals.
On the real food is expensive argument. I’ve been eating a low UPF diet for a month now. I expected it to cost more but actually it hasn’t. Yes the individual items I buy are more expensive but actually I’m buying (and eating and drinking) less overall. My weekly shop has gone down from an average of £130 to £110.
Great interview, I am in no way a health fanatic but for about 50 years I have cooked most of my food from scratch, luckily my mother was a stay at home mom and did the same for the family. We all have had an above average good health. And that is with what we could afford on. the just above the poverty line wage my father brought in.
If you have been cooking most of your food from scratch over the last 50 years then you missed the huge change over from real food to ultra processed. That was a good move! And hopefully your health is benefiting from that foresight. Having a stay at home mother makes all the difference! I think that is where a lot of societies problems lie now, health issues and discontent unhappy children as both parents out at work all hours and stressed from doing both that and working. Sad.
@mollytabitha8851 The latch key kids are in a never never world now. When I grew up there were a few but had discipline enforced if a list of chores weren't done.. I was lucky, my mother was at home. We lived just above the poverty line. She was happy to let me learn to cook from her. I actually did more cooking than my 2 sisters. And one sister is happy to let her husband do all the cooking. But now if you aren't upper middle class with 2 income It's really hard to make ends meet. The banks and the government make the money and seem to want it that way Because I do my own cooking, back when I started I learned to read the ingredients on the package and would actually look them up. It certainly is no great loss in not buying prepared and packaged food. A well stocked spice pantry is the key 🔑 👌
Just 4 weeks in my new life banning Sugar, UPF and at least for a while on a very low carb diet. Reading and educating myself. This man and his fellow thinkers absolutely need to gain momentum and world spread attention!
@@The_Alpha_E eggs, bacon. Cauliflower . Egg/Cheese/almond waffle. Salmon. Greek yoghurt . Nuts. Just had squid and and Now getting ready for steak .. basically what I ate. Is it hard not to slip up? It is.. my diet is simplifying .. but I have way less appetite
I have watched lots and lots of his information over recent weeks. When you watch this You Tube should show you more videos on the subject. Just search Ultra Processed Foods. His name is Chris Van Tulleken and the book he wrote is called Ultra Processed People if you want to look him up. It is SO informative!
I love it when she says white bread has healthy stuff in it , seriously breas is not bread anymore, the wheat we use now is modified, also the fact that it has been sprayed in glyphosate!
Yeh I thought that too - she could do with reading his book! Bread is one of the worst items and one that alot of people least suspect I imagine. Especially if they buy brown or seeded and think it's healthy! They are just a con from what I read.
why is he speaking so rapidly? and why is there such an ultra focus on this now? we’ve known that processed foods were unhealthy (in excess) for decades
The fact that most of us don't even know what an ultra-processed food item is tell us just how mainstream and acceptable these "food" items are... 60% is an truly unbeleivable number and is one key factor in why we see such a spike in metabolc diseases today- doctors need to speak up more.
Not everyone eats as much as 60% of ultra processed food. I get stared at in November for buying salad, fresh vegetables and fruit. Read the labels. The rule of thumb is the cheaper the food, the more likely it is to be full of odd ingredients.
@nvmtt1403 Are u serious? Can u see any difference between brief mentioning of sth and an issue being 'talked about', with (all) the significance and scale of it? Good luck🤞✌️
The thing people neglect to understand in this topic is why there is a need for ultra processed food in the first place. Industrial processed food is needed to feed the world. Salt and other ingredients used in the manufacturing to prolong the shelf life. Food becomes cheaper due to the mass manufacture and is able to maintain long shelf life. This allows food to be transported to places where fresh food is not so cheap or readily available. Fresh food or non- processed food is literally a luxury in our world especially for those less well-off.
Yes - if the economy doesn't allow average people to afford quality ingredients and doesn't give them enough free time to cook often, it creates a market that huge companies can exploit for easy profit. What a coincidence that it works like that...
@@robertchmielecki2580 Hate to burst your bubble. Ultra processed food frees up the time for mandatory cooking. People can choose to cook when they like it or if they enjoy it or if they want to eat something home-cook or something more healthy or all the above. People have a choice now. As for the cost, food costs are kept low due to the industrial manufacturing of food. Food costs were rising in the pre-industrial era and famines often resulted due to the limited agricultural land serving an increasing world population. Technology advance allows food to be stored longer, smoothing the food supply. This also alleviates the effects of overproduction and underproduction in the agricultural industry (due to the vargaries of the weather) on food prices. In the post industrial food manufacturing era, deaths due to famines have drastically fallen, (albeit at the cost of consuming less healthier food). Maybe it's a coincidence for you.
@@chenghonggoh4746 (People can choose to cook when they like it or if they enjoy it)- this. No one is willing to discuss this point. if you are willing to cook for your family, you will. This comes down to willingness, not economy. there is a reason why even in third world countries from asia, UPF is a minority. they are actually willing to put in the effort despite their lower economic status.
As a person with diabetes, I can attest that one of the worst ingredients for blood sugar control is high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). It seems like it's in everything these days, replacing regular sugar in so many processed foods and drinks. HFCS is roughly 55% fructose and takes more steps for the body to break down compared to glucose. This can lead to serious health issues, especially for those with diabetes. Studies have shown a strong link between the increased consumption of HFCS and the rise of type 2 diabetes. For instance, research has indicated that just one serving of a sugary drink per day, which often contains HFCS, can result in an 18% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The overconsumption of HFCS has also been associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and even certain types of cancer. This is because HFCS and sugar drive inflammation in the body, which is a risk factor for these diseases. So, it's no surprise that many diabetics like myself are concerned about the prevalence of HFCS in the food industry. It's a challenging ingredient to avoid, but being mindful of its presence and opting for natural alternative sweeteners can help manage blood sugar levels and improve overall health.
It's hydrogenated oils (in biscuits, energy bars etc) or seed oils (ingredients in many foods , and often hidden like lecithin) that caused your diabetes 2 in the first place. Natural salt, sugar and saturated fat (like butter) have never harmed anyone. Carbs (sugar) cause spikes that helped the cavemen get away from predators or enemies.
@@stigsrnning6459 Blaming hydrogenated oils and seed oils solely for diabetes 2 is oversimplifying a complex issue and spreading misinformation. Sure, processed foods are problematic, but dismissing the dangers of sugar and simple carbs is irresponsible. Claiming that "natural salt, sugar, and saturated fat have never harmed anyone" is flat-out wrong and dangerous, especially for people with diabetes. This kind of pseudo-science and quackery-similar to homeopathy and other unfounded health practices-can lead people to make harmful choices. Diabetes management requires a balanced approach, not cherry-picked facts. Let's stick to credible, science-based advice to ensure people get the proper care they need.
I don't think ultra processed food even is cheap anymore! I watch the Bald Foodie Guy here on UA-cam who reviews all kinds of processed food and I am shocked by the prices! No way could I afford that. But I absolutely agree with you on the time challenge now - how on earth people manage a full time job and being an affective parent and running a home. No wonder people are stressed and struggling with mental health. Not surprising, it is too much for parents to do.
Given bread is a mainstay for my household, I make my own in an inexpensive bread maker. It is always fresh and delicious and importantly I can avoid the harmful additives plus control the salt and sugar. The machine paid for itself within a week and thereafter the money saved allowed me to purchase good quality ingredients.
I stopped buying bread from supermarkets. I tried making it at home. First go was brilliant. Must have had beginners luck as done it 3 times since then and all gone wrong. But I will keep trying. I want to try Sourdough as that is even better for you but it seems so complicated and if I can't even manage a normal loaf I think I had better walk before I run!
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity, get enough sleep and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community
Probably because he care's more about busnesses and making profits.

Wouldn't supprise me at all if Rishi has shares in these companies. It's all about bussiness and profit making at the general public's especally the poor peoples expence!
@@santostv. I thought it would be extreamely obvious, but when bad ingredences and large amounts of salt and sugar etc. are added to foods supposed to be healthy foods, such as bread, tinned foods etc. etc. Its a extreamly bad thing. Smoking and alcohol are a threat to your health and people know that! Its when its not clear to a lot of people it bothers me.
@@ABloodyEyeFull People know for decades already they just ignored it (at least in “the west”), also remember how well alcohol prohibition went in the USA, that was my point. You can teach someone but you can’t force them to do it.
It’s not hard to eat healthy and cheap, there’s tins of tuna and bundles of kale from major chain brand supermarkets the kale cost $1.29 tuna cans can cost $1.30 sometimes and there’s also cans of sardines and various other canned fish, all relatively cheap you can buy other ingredients to season it and make it flavorful. The materials are out there you can prepare it in a time efficient manner. But people are so used to getting the same old colorful brands like nestle and whatever processed crap there is out there.
@@littlewink7941 no… it’s not highly processed. Compared to Ice cream, ham, sausages, crisps, mass-produced bread, some breakfast cereals, biscuits, carbonated drinks, fruit-flavoured yogurts, instant soups, and some alcoholic drinks including whisky, gin, and rum I’d rather eat canned yellow fin tuna, the nutritional labels are perfect especially the macros
@@littlewink7941 Absolutely not! All the cans I have ever seen are just tuna and water or oil. That is very minimally processed as most foods are. Certainly not highly processed at all. Also, I see Kale is right at the top of the list of 'Dirty' foods - as in high levels of pesticides and fungicides that play havoc with our body. Get organic - although not sure I have seen organic kale here in UK.
or mustard. Unfortunately the food industry don't use any of those! They prefer nasty chemicals as it's cheap and obviously they are all about the money money money!
Supermarket sliced bread is the #1 offender. Buy bread from a deli or bread maker. It tastes better & is better in every way except it goes stale a lot faster & gets moldy.
Parents, if you love your children cook them real meals three times a day until they are twelve at which point teach them how to cook a meal themselves, instead of feeding them junk on the market.
Problem is alot of people do not know how to cook so fast foods frozen crap they buy form super markets for I don't buy takeaway and processed rubbish I work as a chef so I'm lucky I can cook anything I want people should to cook and not get takeaway you would save a fortune and live better
In my opinion, ultra processed food should be regulated to be healthy and have a lowered amount of maximum content chemicals in them and should be written on the side of the packaging how harmful they are. The reason of obesity, cancer and other problems coming from the food and the lifestyle we are having. If we are in rush we just get something quick to eat 5 mins microwawe done. This is how a bad habit created, and a food contains toxins and too much sugar salt and fat plus chemicals that the body doesn't know what to do with. I cut ultra processed(industrially processed) food 4 months ago, well not all but 90-95% of the food i eat is fresh(salad rice chicken, fish etc) and basic ingredients prepared by me. No more fish fingers, burgers, sausages etc, no more oily fatty sugary meals. Apart from losing bit more then 2 stones, i feel less hungry, have more energy, no more nod off in the afternoons. Even started walking(cause of the more energy). Of course it is more expensive, but you will eat less and live longer better quality of life.
Chemically processed, over-processed, or ultra-processed, etc. These can be more politically correct terms. However, we don't refer to food we cook in the kitchen as ‘processed’ although we chop, heat, boil, and season them as a way of processing. So yeah, processed food can very well mean what it refers to: anything with ingredients such as emulsifiers, artificial colouring, and/or enhancers.
@@youxine we absolutely do refer to food as processed if we’ve done anything to it. Vegetables in supermarkets have been processed as they’ve been washed. Processed is completely different to ultra-processed. Most cheese is not ultra processed but just processed, same as butter. Ultra-processed is the correct terminology 👍
@@johnnyalanbailey I am not discussing the terminology with you; I have already explained my point of view. When we cook a meal, we don’t say here, I processed some food for you, do we? So when I say processed, in the context of potentially unhealthy ingredients and additives and food, everybody can follow what I refer to, hence my point 😉
@@youxinethat’s fine. I was just making everyone aware in the comments that processed food is not the same as ultra-processed. What you choose to label food as is up to you 👍
For years now, I've been talking about a Food Triangle - Healthy; Quick; Cheap - pick two. Eg, Healthy and Cheap is growing your own veg; Quick and Cheap is chips.
Seems a bit more of a UK problem than elsewhere in Europe. if this is anything to go by _“About 50.7%: or over half of all the food bought by families in the UK is “ultra-processed" , more than any others in Europe. Ultra-processed food is made in a factory with industrial ingredients and additives invented by food technologists and bearing little resemblance to the fruit, vegetables, meat or fish used to cook a fresh meal at home... In Italy: only 13.4%, in France: 14.2%." (Guardian 2 Feb 2018)

I paid £4 for a small sourdough loaf in Marks and Spencers (no additives) whereas the UPF version was £1.60. How can families or schools afford to pay that all the time?
It is sad that this topic has to be highlighted still, I learned about it 40 years ago in University.
That's because the wealthy control it all. And they ain't gonna change the systems that have kept the DOLLAHZ flowin', baby! 😂🤣😂 Mo' munneh means mo' munneh. 💵🍔☠️🍔💵 And if doesn't make dollahz then it doesn't make SENSE.
"Drive down the prices of real food." When do they ever "drive down" the prices on anything? Prices only go in 1 direction *UP!*
drive down the cost, maximise profit
You know farmers are subsidized
Vegetables in Britain are unbelievably cheap. Bag of carrots are about 50p vs £1 for a small bar of chocolate
🙈 I sometimes think how is he not silenced yet by the industry. Good job for exposing the truth!
Eat like your grandparents: Eat WHEN you're hungry, not at set times or beause you've never questioned what you've been told. Eat whole foods - meat, fish, dairy and green vegetables. Don't bother with nutrition trends like vegan/veggy. They're not healthy long term.
Heart disease is the number one killer of people today and cancer is number two.
Being over weight is the number one factor leading to an early death.
People who are over weight have higher risks for high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Even children today have signs of artery disease. Fast foods and sugary drinks have long term consequences.
There is an obesity epidemic today where over 60% of the population is overweight or obese.
What is common today and "NORMAL" is not healthy. The average person today is not healthy and is taking medications.
Heart attacks were once only common in people over 65. Today people in their 40 are having heart attacks.
Add more plants and vegetables to your diet and less junk and overly processed foods
More than one reason for some of the diseases you mention there.
Shush.👻
@@Shaolin91z good point. I think you really challenged this person's commment...
Food safety is a widespread concern globally, and adopting even minimal precautions and regulations can be beneficial.
Processed Bread is as far removed from Bread as you can get. Nutritionally, they're not even close. Make your own bread.
Bread should have only the ingredients you’d use at home in your very own kitchen. In other words, the same few wholesome ingredients your late elders used to make homemade bread before everyone began buying it at the store. It only takes 3 to 4 simple ingredients to make bread and it should not be cottony soft. A good quality bread should not feel light and incredibly soft. If it is it is certainly ultra processed bread. Aldi does carry 3 ingredient bread if you’re interested in avoiding commercial ultra processed sliced bread.
This was fascinating. I wish there was more time given to it.
There's a whole podcast/radio series that he made, if you want to know more.
I reccomend Zoe podcasts too
There's a BBC world science documentary on that too
What a joke of production.. This fact has been known for decades. The host doesn't know what she is talking about and tells the guest to complain to the producer. The guest says humans have been processing food for millions of years.
I think he misspoke by a factor of ten there 😅
Her job is to get the knowledge from him and she did that!
Part of the issue is our workaholic culture. I would love to have time during the day to prepare nutritious meals especially for lunches but my employer only gives 30 minutes for lunch as so many companies do. Weekends are taken up with errands, cleaning and other home projects so still not a lot of time for meal prep. Having said that, I don't eat fast food and try to limit the processed foods in our household but prepping and cooking takes time and energy.
Excuses...
@@AndyTerra I think you mean 'Reasons' Non biased point of view as I do indeed cook from scratch, eat very little UPF's and have time and money for doing so, which is all REASONS for making healthy eating so hard for people these days. I empathise and agree that other people have so much on their plate these days - meant to 100% commit to the home and 100% commit to their work place...something has to give and it is people's happiness and health unfortunately.

This is REAL news.
the vegetables and fruits that’s not organic,the producers must have instructions on the wrapper how to wash them to eliminate the pesticides on them.
Even fresh fruit has been grown with chemicals.
Yep. Organic is much better, for a cost! And not an awful lot of variety in the organic ranges. Fruit isn't good for people who are very overweight/obese either. Too much fructose.
White soft sliced bread isn't really bread at all.

4:03 How on earth is it not independent (yet) ?!
Have not eaten red meats like bacon and sausages in about a year now. White bread I try to avoid, or any cereals with loads of sugar. Anything with artificial colours in is a no no. Never touched energy drinks. Sweets not eaten in years. Try to eat 5 a day of fruit/veg, and drink water. Wholegrains are good. High fibre foods. My last McDonalds was years and years ago now and so was my last coke. Just avoid it. Usually whatever is popular and near the checkouts or end of the aisles in shops is unhealthy.
Sounds great. I've gone back to basics. I haven't touched alcohol in months. I always find being vegan works wonders for me
Hi bro, you have been going good keep it up 👍
I do love a bit of bacon.

Control the food, control the people.
first time know ultra-processed food is specialized for poor low-income communities. I thought food like cholochate, cakes, and doughnuts which cost a lot were for high-income people. I can only afford the basic necessities, like bread, vegetables, and sparkling water.
I think it depends on which country you are from. You are far better off on your basic foods. What was eaten in the UK prior to 1970's was far better for people as long as there was enough to go round. Like most things, best grown and made at home to avoid ultra processed bread at supermarkets, home grown veg where possible to avoid the harmful pesticides and fungicides. Supermarket meat is not ideal in western countries as mass produced - best at butchers. So here is where even the basics cost more so richer people can afford to look after their health more.
The doctor says there is no regulation of unhealthy food in the UK. Yes there is. They don't allow food to be sold with artificial flavoring or artificial coloring or high fructose corn syrup in the UK but those are ubiquitous in food sold in the United States.
I have seen food items with this in here in UK (unfortunately my older teenagers insist on bringing home UPF ! ) Often the food has other corn syrups and glucose syrups in too. Found out recently there are about 60 words for sugar in ingredient lists - so they like to sneak it in one way or the other! Very little real meaningful regulation in UK. They stick a sugar tax on items and then the manufacturers replace it with (cheaper) sweeteners which are actually much worse for our health - we would have been better off with the sugar! It's all smoke and mirrors and slight of hand. As long as they get our money they don't care about morals and health.
Make it law that any ultra-processed food must be clearly labelled as such. The UK can set its own food labelling standards and can no longer blame the EU for such things.
Yes, I see there are countries like Brazil or Mexico amongst others that have this big black hexagon shaped warning label on the front! We should have that here.
Make a law and LIMIT of sugar, salt, preservatatives, etc a product can have. The cost of not banning is much higher than the cost of eating healthy on our society
In high- and middle-income nations, I believe the rise of ultraprocessed foods is mainly driven by consumerism. Marketing plays a vital role here. If you can't control production, at least control marketing while improving consumer awareness. On the other hand, in low-income areas, it's their cheap price and the convenience they offer. Coming from a low-income country myself, a large part of our workforce spends at least 12 hours a day and 6 days a week at work, yet many can only afford instant noodles and canned foods for meals.
On the real food is expensive argument. I’ve been eating a low UPF diet for a month now. I expected it to cost more but actually it hasn’t. Yes the individual items I buy are more expensive but actually I’m buying (and eating and drinking) less overall. My weekly shop has gone down from an average of £130 to £110.
Hi, would you write the name of this doctor, please? Thanks in advance!
Chris Van Tulleken His book is called Ultra Processed People
@@mollytabitha8851 thank you so much!
What he said
Great interview, I am in no way a health fanatic but for about 50 years I have cooked most of my food from scratch, luckily my mother was a stay at home mom and did the same for the family. We all have had an above average good health. And that is with what we could afford on. the just above the poverty line wage my father brought in.
If you have been cooking most of your food from scratch over the last 50 years then you missed the huge change over from real food to ultra processed. That was a good move! And hopefully your health is benefiting from that foresight. Having a stay at home mother makes all the difference! I think that is where a lot of societies problems lie now, health issues and discontent unhappy children as both parents out at work all hours and stressed from doing both that and working. Sad.
@mollytabitha8851 The latch key kids are in a never never world now. When I grew up there were a few but had discipline enforced if a list of chores weren't done.. I was lucky, my mother was at home. We lived just above the poverty line. She was happy to let me learn to cook from her. I actually did more cooking than my 2 sisters. And one sister is happy to let her husband do all the cooking.
But now if you aren't upper middle class with 2 income
It's really hard to make ends meet. The banks and the government make the money and seem to want it that way
Because I do my own cooking, back when I started I learned to read the ingredients on the package and would actually look them up. It certainly is no great loss in not buying prepared and packaged food.
A well stocked spice pantry is the key 🔑 👌

I have watched lots and lots of his information over recent weeks. When you watch this You Tube should show you more videos on the subject. Just search Ultra Processed Foods. His name is Chris Van Tulleken and the book he wrote is called Ultra Processed People if you want to look him up. It is SO informative!
Let's just start the class action lawsuit now.
I love that guy ! well done bro, good explaining :) 👍🧠💪
What is the debate? Care about your fellow human beings, that is all!
I love it when she says white bread has healthy stuff in it , seriously breas is not bread anymore, the wheat we use now is modified, also the fact that it has been sprayed in glyphosate!
Yeh I thought that too - she could do with reading his book! Bread is one of the worst items and one that alot of people least suspect I imagine. Especially if they buy brown or seeded and think it's healthy! They are just a con from what I read.
why is he speaking so rapidly? and why is there such an ultra focus on this now? we’ve known that processed foods were unhealthy (in excess) for decades
The fact that most of us don't even know what an ultra-processed food item is tell us just how mainstream and acceptable these "food" items are... 60% is an truly unbeleivable number and is one key factor in why we see such a spike in metabolc diseases today- doctors need to speak up more.
Eat what you can afford. If you're not rich, you can't change sheet. #copium
Not everyone eats as much as 60% of ultra processed food. I get stared at in November for buying salad, fresh vegetables and fruit. Read the labels. The rule of thumb is the cheaper the food, the more likely it is to be full of odd ingredients.
Thank you Eddy Abew the world is WAKING THE FACK UP!

What is the name of his book?
Ultra Processed People. You probably have found it by now 😀
So how would suggest feed the world, without mass produced food? Isn't it better than hunger?
Yep. First world problems for the ignorant
The thing people neglect to understand in this topic is why there is a need for ultra processed food in the first place. Industrial processed food is needed to feed the world. Salt and other ingredients used in the manufacturing to prolong the shelf life. Food becomes cheaper due to the mass manufacture and is able to maintain long shelf life. This allows food to be transported to places where fresh food is not so cheap or readily available. Fresh food or non- processed food is literally a luxury in our world especially for those less well-off.
Yes - if the economy doesn't allow average people to afford quality ingredients and doesn't give them enough free time to cook often, it creates a market that huge companies can exploit for easy profit. What a coincidence that it works like that...
@@robertchmielecki2580 Hate to burst your bubble. Ultra processed food frees up the time for mandatory cooking. People can choose to cook when they like it or if they enjoy it or if they want to eat something home-cook or something more healthy or all the above. People have a choice now. As for the cost, food costs are kept low due to the industrial manufacturing of food. Food costs were rising in the pre-industrial era and famines often resulted due to the limited agricultural land serving an increasing world population. Technology advance allows food to be stored longer, smoothing the food supply. This also alleviates the effects of overproduction and underproduction in the agricultural industry (due to the vargaries of the weather) on food prices. In the post industrial food manufacturing era, deaths due to famines have drastically fallen, (albeit at the cost of consuming less healthier food). Maybe it's a coincidence for you.
@@chenghonggoh4746 (People can choose to cook when they like it or if they enjoy it)- this. No one is willing to discuss this point. if you are willing to cook for your family, you will. This comes down to willingness, not economy. there is a reason why even in third world countries from asia, UPF is a minority. they are actually willing to put in the effort despite their lower economic status.
@@nvmtt I am replying to someone else based on his or her inputs and not anticipating on your willingness to discuss the point.
@@chenghonggoh4746 did I hit a nerve or something?
As a person with diabetes, I can attest that one of the worst ingredients for blood sugar control is high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). It seems like it's in everything these days, replacing regular sugar in so many processed foods and drinks. HFCS is roughly 55% fructose and takes more steps for the body to break down compared to glucose. This can lead to serious health issues, especially for those with diabetes. Studies have shown a strong link between the increased consumption of HFCS and the rise of type 2 diabetes. For instance, research has indicated that just one serving of a sugary drink per day, which often contains HFCS, can result in an 18% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The overconsumption of HFCS has also been associated with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and even certain types of cancer. This is because HFCS and sugar drive inflammation in the body, which is a risk factor for these diseases. So, it's no surprise that many diabetics like myself are concerned about the prevalence of HFCS in the food industry. It's a challenging ingredient to avoid, but being mindful of its presence and opting for natural alternative sweeteners can help manage blood sugar levels and improve overall health.
fructose is poising you please do not eat it especially with with diabetes, it causes fatty liver.
It's hydrogenated oils (in biscuits, energy bars etc) or seed oils (ingredients in many foods , and often hidden like lecithin) that caused your diabetes 2 in the first place. Natural salt, sugar and saturated fat (like butter) have never harmed anyone. Carbs (sugar) cause spikes that helped the cavemen get away from predators or enemies.
@@stigsrnning6459 Blaming hydrogenated oils and seed oils solely for diabetes 2 is oversimplifying a complex issue and spreading misinformation. Sure, processed foods are problematic, but dismissing the dangers of sugar and simple carbs is irresponsible. Claiming that "natural salt, sugar, and saturated fat have never harmed anyone" is flat-out wrong and dangerous, especially for people with diabetes. This kind of pseudo-science and quackery-similar to homeopathy and other unfounded health practices-can lead people to make harmful choices. Diabetes management requires a balanced approach, not cherry-picked facts. Let's stick to credible, science-based advice to ensure people get the proper care they need.

@jfdomega7938 Thanks so much! I tried googling it, not knowing the spelling, so doing it by voice. It failed miserably.
I believe some important challenges about ultra processed food are: the low price and also the fact that people don't have much time to cook nowadays
I don't think ultra processed food even is cheap anymore! I watch the Bald Foodie Guy here on UA-cam who reviews all kinds of processed food and I am shocked by the prices! No way could I afford that. But I absolutely agree with you on the time challenge now - how on earth people manage a full time job and being an affective parent and running a home. No wonder people are stressed and struggling with mental health. Not surprising, it is too much for parents to do.
0:48 Did he just... wake up?
Given bread is a mainstay for my household, I make my own in an inexpensive bread maker. It is always fresh and delicious and importantly I can avoid the harmful additives plus control the salt and sugar. The machine paid for itself within a week and thereafter the money saved allowed me to purchase good quality ingredients.
I stopped buying bread from supermarkets. I tried making it at home. First go was brilliant. Must have had beginners luck as done it 3 times since then and all gone wrong. But I will keep trying. I want to try Sourdough as that is even better for you but it seems so complicated and if I can't even manage a normal loaf I think I had better walk before I run!

You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Lower stress, reduce obesity, get enough sleep and more exercise are key to a healthy life.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community

The materials are out there you can prepare it in a time efficient manner. But people are so used to getting the same old colorful brands like nestle and whatever processed crap there is out there.

Ultra Processed Food - Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn't Food... and Why Can't We Stop?
Making meals from scratch is longer and requires more effort. But generally is healthier tastier and safer.
and cheaper.
Supermarket sliced bread is the #1 offender. Buy bread from a deli or bread maker. It tastes better & is better in every way except it goes stale a lot faster & gets moldy.
I wouldn't even touch any bread these days ,the wheat is full of pesticides, also wheat has been completely modified
Buy sourdough bread, slice it up and freeze it, great for toast
Parents, if you love your children cook them real meals three times a day until they are twelve at which point teach them how to cook a meal themselves, instead of feeding them junk on the market.
Parents, feed your children what you like. It's for you to decide what's healthy. Not some stranger. They're your children.
Oat milk? I thought that was a healthy alternative to cows milk. There is a no added sugar oat milk.
Problem is alot of people do not know how to cook so fast foods frozen crap they buy form super markets for I don't buy takeaway and processed rubbish I work as a chef so I'm lucky I can cook anything I want people should to cook and not get takeaway you would save a fortune and live better

In my opinion, ultra processed food should be regulated to be healthy and have a lowered amount of maximum content chemicals in them and should be written on the side of the packaging how harmful they are. The reason of obesity, cancer and other problems coming from the food and the lifestyle we are having. If we are in rush we just get something quick to eat 5 mins microwawe done. This is how a bad habit created, and a food contains toxins and too much sugar salt and fat plus chemicals that the body doesn't know what to do with.
I cut ultra processed(industrially processed) food 4 months ago, well not all but 90-95% of the food i eat is fresh(salad rice chicken, fish etc) and basic ingredients prepared by me. No more fish fingers, burgers, sausages etc, no more oily fatty sugary meals.
Apart from losing bit more then 2 stones, i feel less hungry, have more energy, no more nod off in the afternoons. Even started walking(cause of the more energy).
Of course it is more expensive, but you will eat less and live longer better quality of life.
5 mins? Get this guy on for an hour.
If we stopped eating unhealthy foods we would be unemploying a lot of upper middle class and upper class individuals and that won't be allowed.
Perhaps the thumbnail should be of some sugary snack full of additives instead of traditional cured meats?
This was a nice summary interview against the dangers of processed food. A longer discussion on this topic was uploaded to this channel as a podcast.
Ultra processed food you mean?Processed food could be anything from a washed vegetable or chopped up tomato to cheese curdled from milk.
Chemically processed, over-processed, or ultra-processed, etc. These can be more politically correct terms. However, we don't refer to food we cook in the kitchen as ‘processed’ although we chop, heat, boil, and season them as a way of processing. So yeah, processed food can very well mean what it refers to: anything with ingredients such as emulsifiers, artificial colouring, and/or enhancers.
@@youxine we absolutely do refer to food as processed if we’ve done anything to it. Vegetables in supermarkets have been processed as they’ve been washed. Processed is completely different to ultra-processed. Most cheese is not ultra processed but just processed, same as butter. Ultra-processed is the correct terminology 👍
@@johnnyalanbailey I am not discussing the terminology with you; I have already explained my point of view. When we cook a meal, we don’t say here, I processed some food for you, do we?

Seems a bit more of a UK problem than elsewhere in Europe. if this is anything to go by _“About 50.7%: or over half of all the food bought by families in the UK is “ultra-processed" , more than any others in Europe.
