Ultra-Processed People: The Science Behind Food That Isn't Food
Description
In this compelling investigation, a physician and researcher examines how ultra-processed foods have transformed modern diets—and why they can be so difficult to resist. Drawing on cutting-edge nutrition science, public-health research, and personal experience, the book explores the links between industrial food production, appetite, health, and the wider systems that shape what we eat. It challenges conventional ideas about willpower and personal responsibility while revealing the commercial forces behind foods engineered for convenience and consumption. Accessible, provocative, and rigorously researched, it offers readers a new way to understand the food on their plates and its impact on their bodies and society.
