Ultraprocessed foods are having a moment in the spotlight once again

The first week of the year felt very much like Ultraprocessed-Food Awareness Week .

The message is coming in clear: We’ve got to closely examine what we’re eating.

U.K. celebrity doctor Chris van Tulleken was capturing attention for his book Ultra-Processed People .

Forager Project’s organic cashew yogurts, Oscar Mayer hot dogs, Olipop , infant formula, Kraft Mac and Cheese , and the supplement AG1 were all in the category of ultraprocessed foods.

Jessica van Tulleken says she didn't make any nutritional compromises with her diet.

She says the time to cook a meal is often infinitesimal, and if we need to wash, cut, season and cook a vegetable, it simply might not happen.
