My aunt used to call junk food, near-food. Pepsi calls it fun for you food. It appears that ultra processed “food” is worse that that. Because consumption generally indicates poor socio-economic status, like poverty. We should focus on fixing that too.

Joe Wicks @thebodycoach.bsky.social and Chris Van Tulleken highlight lax labelling regulation by developing a deliberately harmful "healthy" protein bar. Great review by @jackseale.bsky.social and excellent programme.

Ultra-Processed Foods Linked to Weight Gain, Hormonal Disruption, and Reduced Sperm Quality in Men
A new study from the University of Copenhagen highlights the detrimental effects of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on men's health. The research focused on three major issues: weight gain, hormone disruption, and reduced sperm quality. The study involved 43 men aged 20-35 who were given two different ... [More info]
"Although there’s good evidence that diets high in UPFs [ultra-processed food] are associated with poor health, some scientists are sceptical that the UPF category is useful for research or as the basis for dietary advice, arguing that it is too broad and ill-defined. [...] Questions remain, but recent research findings can provide some guidance for people trying to make healthy choices."
I recommend watching the documentary Foodspiracy (an episode of The Nature of Things). It's an interesting discussion of ultra processed food. Note, it's available on CBC Gem, so it may only be available in Canada (though perhaps other networks also feature it).
29 years of stomach pain, fatigue & endless toothaches.
Dozens of tests said: “You’re healthy.”
Then I cut out ultra-processed food.

Just finished Chris van Tulleken's book about ultra processed food. I'll never look at the ingredient 'emulsifier' the same way again.
....or any UPF.

The last Tory government let the Food and Drink Federation successfully lobby to remove guidance from the Department of Health and Social Care to “shift the balance of promotions towards healthier options – such as minimally processed and nutritious food.”

'Sporen van schadelijke stoffen in vleesvervangers, maar geen gezondheidsrisico'
Studie Universiteit Antwerpen:
"52 plantaardige producten uit België, Duitsland en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Het ging om plantaardige vervangers voor hamburgers, kaas, kip, vis, beleg enzovoort, die te koop zijn in supermarkten"
"Uit de studie blijkt dat plantaardige vlees-, vis- en kaasvervangers sporen bevatten van schadelijke stoffen, zoals organofosfaatvlamvertragers en weekmakers. Die zijn vermoedelijk afkomstig van verpakkingen en productieapparatuur. Hoewel de stoffen in hogere concentraties werden aangetroffen dan in dierlijke producten, blijft de geschatte dagelijkse inname ruimschoots onder de internationale gezondheidsgrenzen, zelfs als je volledig veganistisch eet. Deze producten vormen dus geen gezondheidsrisico voor volwassenen. Het is wel belangrijk om de samenstelling én productie van ultrabewerkte producten kritisch te blijven opvolgen."

Chlorinated chicken, hormone beef, calves raised in veal crates, salmonella eggs, more ultra-processed 💩 for UK, more $$$ for USA.
Great deal, #starmer

Fascinating. A lot of people don't understand why the French in particular aren't amazingly obese because they seem to eat so much fat, especially butter and cream.
And then you see interesting information like this from the #visualcapitalist
Now correlation isn't always causation, but damn.
