About this listen
We are all taking part in a massive experiment for which none of us have signed up: much of the food we consume daily comes in the form of ultra-processed food, something that has been described as ‘industrially produced edible substances’.
This diet is relatively new for humanity, and increasingly it’s clear that its impact on us is not always good. But what is UPF exactly, where did it originate and who is benefitting from this cheap, satiating food source that feeds most of humanity today? We talk with renowned doctor and broadcaster Chris Van Tulleken, author of the superb book Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn’t Food … and Why Can’t We Stop?
Chris van Tulleken has a medical degree from Oxford and a PhD in molecular virology. He is an associate professor at University College London and a practicing infectious diseases doctor. A broadcaster for children and adults on BBC television and radio, he has won two BAFTAs and lives with his family in London.
