We're only just beginning to understand how ultra-processed foods affect our gut and their catastrophic effects on our health, says DoctorChrisVT
FROM cocktail sausages to ready meals, ultra-processed food has long been suspected of being nutritionally inferior. Most dietary guidelines say this is because it tends to be high in fat, sugar and salt. But that is missing something vital, says doctor, academic and TV presenter Chris van Tulleken in his new book,What really determines, says van Tulleken, is how it is made: in the home or a factory.
now making up more than half of all food eaten in many Western countries, the consequences for much of the world’s health are catastrophic. He tellsClare Wilson: Why is ultra-processed food worse than the food we cook from scratch at home? Chris van Tulleken: The industrial processes involved in food manufacturing change its chemical and physical structure. They reduce food crops to their core constituents, such as high fructose corn syrup made from corn starch or hydrolysed vegetable protein from soya beans, which are then reformulated into substances that are highly palatable and calorific. These processes strip out fibre and micronutrients.
