Given that the Mail makes its money both from shroudwaving health stories and carrying the advertising for paying businesses, I was interested to see how it would cover the #UltraProcessed Food (#UPF) story.

Their headline runs (in part) "Experts warn of 'tidal wave of harm' - but science suggests it's not that clear cut".

Which is such a bravely cakeist approach to denialism that I wonder where I've seen it before.

No, no, never, not ever would I want synthetic salmon. I can't even stand farmed salmon.

Once in a blue moon we find some real, fresh, red wild salmon when we have the funds to splurge on it. You just can't get this taste and texture anywhere else. It is a luxury in today's world, and we treat it like that.

I'll eat beans all day before I'll pretend fake fish is really food. And talk about ultra-processed!

Hi everyone, #newhere, just moved from another instance. I am a computational biologist and lab manager at Arcadi Navarro's lab in #UPF #Barcelona. I am interested in evolutionary modeling, stochastic processes and #protein #evolution. Nice to be on ecoevo.

Back in the 1960s-70s, as a newly married grad student (aka poor indentured servant) we lived on that cheap meat.

Now I'd still like a nice tongue sometimes, or a kidney...but they are no longer easy to find. And I look at one for $40 or $50 and think NO WAY. Other cuts are similar.

What is the replacement? Ultra-processed food, food that isn't stuff we evolved to eat. Why poor people are having such health issues.

Ultra-Processed People

An excellent if very long review.
I finished the book a couple of weeks ago, and enjoyed it very much: lots of new (to me) info and ideas about the food processing itself.
As the review says near the end, about the whole subject of food processing: it's complicated!

#food #bread #upf
My first attempt at making Japanese Milk Bread. The technique uses a roux made by heating some of the flour and water until it makes a stiff paste.

The result is soft and pleasant, a sort of DIY Wonder Bread. Still pretty fresh on day two.

And you have DIY modified starch doing the work. Does this count as Ultra Processed Food, even if home-made?

Crisco was one of the first Ultra Processed Foods, originally made from cottonseed in 1907. "Crisco" was an acronym for "crystallized cottonseed oil."

See Chris van Tulleken's "Ultra Processed People: Why we can't stop eating food that isn't food".

Wie denkt gezond bezig te te zijn door vlees te vervangen door vleesvervangers, think again!

Vleesvervangers zijn lappen voedingsarm eetbaar materiaal bij elkaar gehouden met chemicaliën, bedekt met suiker en zout om je geest voor de gek te houden. Ultra high processed food bedrog.

Gezond #vegan #vegetarisch alternatief? Nope, one way ticket naar diabetes en hart- en vaatziekten.

Tijdens het hardlopen de afgelopen dagen heb ik naar de gratis (Engelse) #podcast serie van de broers #VanTulleken geluisterd.

Seizoen 1 gaat over #UPF - Ultra Processed Food.

Ik heb zoveel geleerd over ons 'eten', het bedrog waar we aan bloot staan, dieetmotivatie, #obesitas.

Confronterend ook wel aangezien ik zelf 102 kilo was en zelf blijvend 30 kilo ben afgevallen. Alle smoezen en excuses en negatieve vragen? SJEk!

Aanrader!!!!

Another beautiful day for #cycling. First time I rode with #upf leg sleeves, very comfortable, good wicking properties, and most importantly no sunburn or rash!

Doesn't once mention the elephant in the room, that globalising our food chain has led to a need for long shelf life food which in turn leads to food being ever more processed. I am all for fazing out ultra processed food but for that to happen we need a massive localisation push. A straight ban is a hard sell though while tobacco is still legal #UPF #Food

Banning ultra-processed food is not a nanny-state issue. It’s common sense

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/09/banning-ultra-processed-food-nanny-state-common-sense

From an early age I loathed processed foods. This acknowledges that it was good to do so and will motivate me to even more use mostly fresh and unprocessed food.

I also try to curb my salt and sugar intake and use whole grains and brown rice, or things made of that.
