Vital reading

This is a fascinating look at many different facets of Ultra Processed food including its history and development worldwide. Chris Van Tulleken manages to make what could be a very dry book into a fascinating and well-researched book. He interviews an astonishing range of scientists and some food industry insiders, undertakes an 80% UPF diet for 4 weeks to check the results on his own body, and illustrates the effects on children of these foods, including his own 3 year old. The writing is very witty at times but is a timely wake-up call to demand better control and oversight from Governments, an end to child-focused advertising, and more provision of affordable fresh wholesome food, I highly recommend this book.

Opens your eyes

It's a very good book, definitely worth reading, the most interesting parts I thought were when Chris wrote about the effects of emulsifiers and the like on the microbiome and inflammation - this stuff generally shouldn't be eaten regularly - and he makes excellent points about food marketing, particular marketing junk at children.I was a bit surprised though that his list of 'bad' industries didn't include the pharmaceutical industry, who I would suggest are very similar to the food industry in the way that medicines have been monetised - possibly as a doctor his outlook would be different from mine. Very good book though, and highly recommended. I enjoyed the podcast series too.
