Incendiary and infuriating, this book is a diet grenade; the bold and brutal truth about how we are fed deadly delights by very greedy evil giants., If Super Size Me were an introduction, Chris van Tulleken's book is the Ph.D. course . . . [Ultra-Processed People] is highly readable and van Tulleken writes with the confidence of a doctor who has a reassuring bedside manner., A scathing takedown . . . This impassioned polemic will make readers think twice about what they eat., Before reading van Tulleken's work, I felt pretty confident that junk food was bad. That didn't stop me from eating it, however. Learning about UPF is a different experience--you begin to realize that some of this stuff is barely food at all., Ultra-Processed People [is] a fearless investigation into how we have become hooked on ultra-processed food . . [It] is more than just a great science book: it breaks down a complex issue of cultural, social, economic and political importance with clarity and sensitivity but without moralising; it competently evaluates the scientific literature; and it roams the globe in search of answers., Another year, another reason to be fearful of the food we eat--although van Tulleken would counter that 'food' is too kind a name for the synthetic, stabilised products that increasingly sustain and addict us. His prescription not to eat anything you wouldn't recognise in a home kitchen is reassuringly grandmotherly., In Ultra-Processed People, a persuasive mix of analysis and commentary, [Chris van Tulleken] shows how [ultra-processed] foods affect our bodies and how their popularity stems in part from shady marketing and slanted science., Ultra-Processed People makes the case that corporate interests have given rise to highly addictive ultra-processed foods. . . . A brisk and engaging read, though it might piss you off. That's kind of the point., A fascinating, forensically researched and ultimately terrifying expose of the food we consume. Van Tulleken leaves no stone unturned, shining his spotlight into the dark corners of what masquerades as nutrition these days. Read it; your diet will never be the same again!, "Packed with "I never knew that" moments, Ultra-Processed People is a wonderfully playful book that changed forever how I think about what I eat and why.", A wonderful and fascinating exposé of ultra-processed food, edible substances with strange sounding ingredients which are manufactured by some of the wealthiest companies on the planet and which, worryingly, form an increasing part of our diet. As Chris shows, not only have these foods been formulated to ensure that we eat them constantly and without thought, but they hijack our ability to regulate what we eat, primarily by affecting our brains. And he backs up his claims with a powerful self-experiment, along with lots of rigorous and often shocking research. Reading this book will make you question what you eat and how it was produced., Eye-opening . . . Ultra-Processed People is a tremendously important book that will help readers choose less processed, better food., Van Tulleken is at his best when using his own scientific expertise to help readers through otherwise unnavigable science, data and history, explaining with precision what we are actually eating., The book is 'scholarly' . . . Yet it's also witty, pacy and (despite a lot of academic stuff) approachable., [Ultra-Processed People] is persuasive and scary. . . . As van Tulleken rightly insists, there is simply something creepy about eating things whose composition we can't comprehend., An engrossing, infuriating read! UPF makes most fictional villains look quaint. You've got a diabolical product that scientists and capitalists have literally got into our bodies (even mine?!) profoundly affecting our health and even our thoughts. Chris van Tulleken has written an astonishingly well-researched book on a plague that most of us aren't even thinking about, but one whose architects are most certainly thinking about us, with ill intent. Read it and fight back!, An unsettling examination of the food we eat [and] a fascinating, but frankly horrifying, investigation into our industrialised food system., If you only read one diet or nutrition book in your life, make it this one. It will not only change the way you eat but the way you think about food. And it does all this without a hint of finger-wagging or body shaming. I came away feeling so much better informed about every aspect of ultra-processed food, from the way it affects the microbes in our gut to why it is so profitable to produce to why it's so hard to eat only a single bowl of Coco Pops to why any food that is marketed as 'better for you' is almost certainly not., The past 10 years has seen an inflection point in human history, where more people in the world are now dying of eating too much, than of eating too little. This urgent and captivating read digs deep into one of the huge reasons, the rise and rise of ultra-processed food., There is much to cheer about calories being cheap and abundant, when for most of human history they were neither. But as Chris van Tulleken's new book, Ultra-Processed People, explains, that cheapness and abundance come at a cost.

Synopsis

It's not you, it's the food. We have entered a new age of eating. For the first time in human history, most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food. There's a long, formal scientific definition, but it can be boiled down to this: if it's wrapped in plastic and has at least one ingredient that you wouldn't find in your kitchen, it's UPF. These products are specifically engineered to behave as addictive substances, driving excess consumption. They are now linked to the leading cause of early death globally and the number one cause of environmental destruction. Yet almost all our staple foods are ultra-processed. UPF is our food culture and for many people it is the only available and affordable food. In this book, Chris van Tulleken, father, scientist, doctor, and award-winning BBC broadcaster, marshals the latest evidence to show how governments, scientists, and doctors have allowed transnational food companies to create a pandemic of diet-related disease. The solutions don't lie in willpower, personal responsibility, or exercise. You'll find no diet plan in this book--but join Chris as he undertakes a powerful self-experiment that made headlines around the world: under the supervision of colleagues at University College London he spent a month eating a diet of 80 percent UPF, typical for many children and adults in the United States. While his body became the subject of scientific scrutiny, he spoke to the world's leading experts from academia, agriculture, and--most important--the food industry itself. But more than teaching him about the experience of the food, the diet switched off Chris's own addiction to UPF. In a fast-paced and eye-opening narrative he explores the origins, science, and economics of UPF to reveal its catastrophic impact on our bodies and the planet. And he proposes real solutions for doctors, for policy makers, and for all of us who have to eat. A book that won't only upend the way you shop and eat, Ultra-Processed People will open your eyes to the need for action on a global scale., New York Times Bestseller International Bestseller A New Yorker "Best Books of 2023 So Far" * A Goodreads Choice Awards 2023 Nominee * An NPR 2023 "Books We Love" Pick A manifesto to change how you eat and how you think about the human body., New York Times Bestseller International Bestseller Finalist for the 2024 IACP Award for Food Issues & Matters An Economist Best Book of 2023 * One of Smithsonian's Ten Best Books About Food of 2023 * A Financial Times Best Food and Drink Book of 2023 * A New Yorker Best Books of 2023 So Far * A Goodreads Choice Awards 2023 Nominee * An NPR 2023 "Books We Love" Pick A manifesto to change how you eat and how you think about the human body.
