Chris van Tulleken-father, scientist, doctor, and award-winning BBC
broadcaster-made headlines with a dietary experiment that he
conducted at University College London. For a month, he ate almost
nothing but ultra-processed food, a typical diet for children and
adults in the United States. As Chris ate, he spoke to the world's
leading experts on food and processing from academia, agriculture
and, most importantly, the food industry itself. Now, in a
fast-paced and eye-opening narrative, van Tulleken reveals his
findings. These products are ubiquitous, are the primary driver of
the obesity pandemic, and are the number-one cause of environmental
destruction. Yet these products are ruthlessly marketed, often as
health food. By tracing the science and economics of UPF, van
Tulleken reframes it as an addictive substance and obesity as a
"commerciogenic disease," driven by a largely unregulated industry.
Marshaling the latest evidence, Ultra-Processed People proposes
real solutions to the current pandemic of diet-related disease-for
businesses, for policymakers, and for us all.
