new research debunks trad views on nutrition

[Perris]

and another piece on UPFs. One paragraph is particularly striking: "the other issue that’s been nagging at me: corporations engineer ultra-processed foods to be hyper-palatable (companies overseen by former tobacco company executives produce the most hyper-palatable foods). I’m frustrated by the health impacts of ultra-processed foods not because I think people are making bad decisions by choosing to eat them, but because I suspect corporations don’t care how their products affect consumers."

thanks for linking to that very interesting piece; sorry I didn't see it till now. I have read some of that author's work before; it is well researched.

Another piece this morning from van Tulleken, likening the tactics of ultra processed food companies to that of tobacco companies. Apparently some of the execs from the latter have moved to the former.

Of course they don't! It's all about the money.
