Ultra-Processed People, Audiobook 🎧 by Chris Van Tulleken

It's not you; it's the food.

Have you ever wondered how much of your daily caloric intake consists of substances that, technically, don't fit the traditional definition of "food"? If you've found yourself consuming something wrapped in plastic with unfamiliar ingredients not typically found in your kitchen, there's a high likelihood it's ultra-processed food, or UPF. Beyond being a challenge to "eating right," UPF has been linked to metabolic disease, depression, inflammation, anxiety, and cancer. Moreover, the production, distribution, and disposal of UPF and its related products have catastrophic environmental consequences. Simultaneously, UPF has become the dominant, almost inescapable food culture for millions upon millions of people.

Dr. Chris van Tulleken, a medical doctor and broadcaster, has devoted his career to reshaping the discourse on healthy eating. He strikes a delicate balance, presenting the hard (and sometimes shocking) facts about what we're consuming while empathizing with our natural inclination to continue eating what we enjoy, what's convenient, and what's within our budget. In this book, he argues that we are all unwilling participants in an experiment designed to encourage us to consume as much ultra-processed food as possible. It's not as simple as discovering the latest diet trend, finding time to plan meals, or avoiding excessive sugar, fat, carbs, or other dietary culprits. Nor is it merely a matter of individual willpower. Instead, it's about adapting to "the third age of eating"—an era marked by the overwhelming prevalence of ultra-processed food options—and arming ourselves with both straightforward and nuanced knowledge to make choices that promote our well-being.
