Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isnt Food … and Why Cant We Stop?

Disgusting condition. The book came with literal piles of dirt in between the cover and the sleeve and stains on all the pages. Disgusting. I’m not even sure how a “new” book could get to this state.

Great read extremely informative and well worth a read Highly recommended

It's incredibly concerning what it being put into our food, and how damaging ultra-processed foods are to our health. This book is a great description of that problem, with lots of details about how even "the research" and science of nutrition is heavily funded by big food and big pharma companies who have a financial interest in us being sick, eating more of the heavily processed food that the big food companies sell, and then needing the "quick fix" in the form of drugs that the big pharma companies sell. It is particularly disturbing to learn the US regulatory process regarding what is allowed to be put in food. I love the classification system described, to help distinguish raw, unprocessed foods from minimially processed, and then processed and ultra-processed foods. While it is not a perfect system, it is helpful in determining what foods to eat if one want to make healthier choices. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to improve their eating habits. The only thing I did not like is that it does seem rather bleak at points, and I wish that there was more in-depth writing concerning a solution to this problem.

excellent book, very well researched and written. You'll stay away from junk food after reading this

A book that leads you towards a healthier lifestyle. I appreciate that the author, doesn't tell you what to eat or what to avoid. He is providing you with information an he offers the sources for everything he writes. So you can check for yourself and dive deep into the disgustiness of ultra processed food. I enjoyed it immensely.
