Would really like to see a ultra processed view specifically aimed at vegan foods for example is commertial soy milk or quorn are really ultraprocessed.
Why is sludge like caca cola called a soft drink? Why do people drink that garbage?
Great content: I would only add that family nutrition shouldn’t fall solely on the mother: fathers also cook these days.
i wonder if evolution could fix this? if junk food lowers mortality rate and there are no systems in place to make up for that could what will evolution result in? people who choose not to eat junk food? people better able to tolerate junk food's effects? it will likely take a lot of generations to see a noticeable change. still, there is only one likely outcome for this. the corporations that supply the junk will kill off their userbase
educating people so they can make a proper choice would work a lot faster though. like what you did here. just this past week i thought it would be ok to get a pizza. i figured two slices was fine. they were only a few hundred calories a piece. they were within my budget. i couldn't eat just one. i could eat just two though. ate most the pizza the same day. found out the pizza i was tracking was different then the pizza i ordered. it was actually closer to 750 calories a slice, not 250. my entire calorie budget was shot all to hell for those two days. might be the last pizza i order. they are too expensive in multiple ways
two moths ago most my meals were 3 packs of unseasoned ramen, a fistful of cheese, a can of chicken for each meal. on a whim i calculated the calories from one meal. they were well over a thousand each. i cut out two packs of ramen. it was still a good meal. stayed full for just as long. exchanged that last pack of ramen for a random can of veges. cut down to only one or two of those meals a day. the other four meals are veges and fruit. usually with a little bit of yogurt or cheese. i've gone from over 5,000 calories a day to around 2,000 calories a day. i've even recently stopped feeling so hungry. most my meals are low calorie. usually less then two hundred. i eat six to seven meals a day though. i've only lost 10% or so of my top body weight, but i feel much better. i could barely function, could barely walk a few steps. now i can walk for 20 minutes without to much issue. my depression isn't as bad either. its just a constant low to medium. not the bottom of the world stuff it had gotten to before i changed my habits. stopped soda to. been off it for a month now. that's the most amazing thing to me. i was drinking a gallon and a half a day. i had been drinking soda for over forty years. i have been wanting to quit for years. i could just never make it stick
its only been three months since all my changes started. i feel comfortable with what i'm doing now. so i think i can keep it up. biggest issue i see is there are so many supplemental programs going on now that i can easily afford whatever food i want. i'm used to buying the cheapest stuff possible to afford to eat and meet my soda habit. once the programs end i will likely need to spend more carefully. i know at least one of them is being funded because of the current world crisis. so its only a matter of time
raw food diet cures most
Invest in an induction or infrared cooker and get fresh food where possible and cook. I survived in a tiny apartment with a slow cooker farmer's market produce and organ meats, bones and eggs out of pure necessity.
Carbohydrates, especially simple sugar will always be the major macronutrient for human body development as shown in the breast milk analysis. Kids NEED simple sugars to develop, they crave it. Its the parents fault that they don't introduce them to fruits, especially dry fruits that can compete with any candy, and they are easily absorbed and utilized by the body. No wonder they are so attracted to processed foods if they are not given the correct food.
If your below 10 percent body fat you will benge on broccoli
The examples of ultra-processed foods given in the study were still much healthier than what most people in the U.S. eat on a regular basis.
If you were smart you would feed people poison that you have the antidote for. Carbohydrates and insulin.
Wait a second, this study. It would have to be calorie-normalized…
In my opinion, the biggest culprit is the soft drink. You can easily subtract 300-500 empty calories if you give up soft drinks.
Thanks nice video!!
eating unprocessed food isn't realistic? my family has eaten that way for 12 years now, it's an adjustment not an impossibility!
In the seventies it was quite fashionable to eat canned food and processed food. It was part of women being freed from cooking. I am amazed I survived with the diet I had as a kid with lots of allergies and eczema and diagnosed as hyperactive at the age of four and given Ritalin to compensate. To this day my mother will only eat canned mushrooms. I don't blame her because that was the norm in those days but I am sure happy things have changed!
It’s all about money, like back in the 1800s and before where we had our own farms, harvested and grew our own food, raised our own cattle and chickens and animals, none of these diseases existed, it’s simply the change of the environment that we live in right now
Imagine how much goodwill the food industry could earn if they actually implemented certain changes.
Carrots and beets are a splurge for me.
Civilized man is the only animal clever enough to manufacture its own food, and the only animal stupid enough to eat it. –Barry Groves

My 12 year old grandson is twice the weight of what a 12 year old should be. While you can see it on the outside when you learn what this food does to the inside it is scary. I would bet diabetes within a year and in ten years on the 600 pound life show.
YES!
In the 1960s, Carlton Fredericks, Ph.D. on his weekly nutrition radio show in NY (I think) offered a challenge: $100 to the first person who could name the food" he presented. What he did was read the ingredients as on the label, and sure enough, he did not have to pay out very much!
In the 1970s, during my nutrition talks, I'd introduce five foods, something like KoolAid, Crocker's Chocolate Cake mix, Tang, and a couple more, maybe a soda and some sort of snack food like chips. I warned ahead that I would not mention obvious giveaways like chocolate (cake mix), water (soda) or flour (crackers), but would then read the various ingredients as they appeared on the labels, and–sure enough–people rarely if ever identified which ingredients went with which food!
I advised my audience that if your can't pronounce it or if it looks like a suspicious word, it's probably best not to consume it. (I identified "asparagus" as an exception to that rule!)
Go Vegan. And try eat fresh đŸ˜€ (its expensive, try some frozen ! good tips for me)
Merci !
From a cynical point of view, a government may prefer people to die of chronic illness in the 60s and 70s since people retire shortly after.
Old retired people can be viewed as an economic and GDP drain that extract more tax dollars then they bring in, specifically in three ways.
First, they don’t generate as much tax revenue since their most productive years are done and they likely have or will retire.
Second, they cost more medically to maintain and all developed nations, including the US, pay for the medical care of the elderly.
Third, the elderly hold on to housing property that could be purchased by conglomerate renting corporations that want to renovate and start renting that housing property.
I agree with Dr.Gregor here on the science. I just think we shouldn’t assume that the government(or rather it’s handlers) wants people to live long lives.
There was a brilliant short documentary on BBC1 hosted by Dr Chris van Tulleken about UPF and it’s terrifying! There needs to be information about this spread far and wide
Fuhrman goes into a lot of detail on the consequences for mental health in his book "Fast food genocide". this garbage is hijacking our lives. learn to cook and prepare plant foods should be a basic skill taught in school imo.
Ultra-processed, this word needed to be invented for how screwed-up food is, this is why the China plague has had such a factor on younger people, they have been living on GMO FOOD their entire life.
