Description
Ultra-Processed People examines the pervasive role of ultra-processed foods in contemporary society and the biological, psychological, and commercial reasons behind their dominance. Van Tulleken, a medical doctor and broadcaster, investigates what makes these foods so appealing and addictive, exploring the science of food engineering, marketing strategies, and the impact on human health. The book goes beyond simple nutritional advice to explore systemic issues: why whole foods have become expensive and inconvenient while processed alternatives are cheap and ubiquitous, and how our bodies and brains respond to these engineered products. Through accessible science and compelling investigation, van Tulleken reveals the hidden architecture of food systems and offers insights into breaking free from ultra-processed dependency. This is essential reading for anyone concerned about modern nutrition, public health, and the food industry.
