Summary

It's not you, it's the food. We have entered a new 'age of eating' where most of our calories come from a novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food - products which are industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we understand what it's doing to our bodies? Join Dr. Chris van Tulleken in this ground-breaking book as he lives on a diet of almost nothing but UPF while travelling through the worlds of food science, history and economics. 'Ultra-processed people' exposes why we've lost an understanding of how weight gain really works, why UPF should be looked at as an addictive substance, and why none of it is your fault. We have the right to know what we're eating, and the right to good, affordable food. So eat along with Chris as you read; you may find, as he did, that the foods you've previously felt addicted to become less and less appealing.
