War on Ultra-Processed Food

The Diet Diagram

Regardless of dietary preferences people universally agree that sticking to 100% Natural Wholefoods is the ideal way to structure your nutrition plan.

Dr. Chris van Tulleken

"We’ve started eating substances constructed from novel molecules and using processes never previously encountered in our evolutionary history, substances that can’t really even be called 'food'."

Renata Bertazzi Levy, et al

"Investigations from many countries link high ultra-processed food consumption with greater risk of disorders, diseases and premature death. Cohort studies have found links with obesity and adiposity outcomes, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, hyperuricaemia, CVD, breast, ovarian, brain and overall cancer, non-alcoholic cirrhosis, Crohn's disease, chronic renal failure, depression, cognitive decline, and dementia".

Prof. Tim Spencer

"In the last decade, the evidence has been slowly growing that ultra-processed food is harmful for us in ways we hadn't thought. We're talking about a whole variety of cancers, heart disease, strokes, dementia."

Prof. Carlos Monteiro

“The negative dietary effects of ultra-processed foods have now been made clear by many nationally-representative studies.” This should emphasise the preference for unprocessed or minimally processed foods and make explicit the need to avoid ultra-processed foods.
