About the Book
Book descriptionIn Ultra-Processed People, Chris van Tulleken argues that the ultra-processing of foods is the primary reason that today’s food intake results in many health problems, such as metabolic dysfunction and most chronic diseases. In a fast-paced and eye-opening narrative he explores the origins, science, and economics of ultra-processed foods to reveal its catastrophic impact on our bodies and the planet. Tulleken proposes real solutions for doctors, for policy makers, and for all of us who have to eat.
