How harmful can ultra-processed foods be for us? - BBC News

The impact of ultra-processed foods like crisps, bread and cereals is a "ticking timebomb" to our health, a leading scientist has said.
The BBC’s Panorama programme has been investigating the impact of ultra-processed foods with the help of identical twins on very different diets.
The effect on their health was clear after just two weeks.

    It is a total tragedy, that cooking has been taken off the school curriculum in many countries. When I was in 5th grade, many years ago, the boys in my class were among the first to choose between cooking and (the traditional) woodwork. We all chose cooking - and I became quite good at it. Today, I NEVER buy processed foods - I cook from the bottom up. And - if you know, what you are doing, you can make a great, and cheap, dinner in 12 minutes. Oh - and tell your sons, that being a good cook is one of the best pickup moves around.

The food industry is also to blame in supermarkets like ASDA, TESCO, Sainsburys have a lot of cheap ultraprocessed food.

    4:49 Food manufacturers don't care about people's health. It's all about making as much profit as possible. The longer a product can stay on the shelf, with the use of additives and preservatives etc, the more money they can make. Just because something passes current regulations it doesn't mean it's healthy. Also in the West many people have lost the ability to cook at home from scratch. Parents and schools no longer pass on the necessary skills to children. Whereas in many Asian countries cooking at home from scratch is still a thing and people there are much healthier for it.

    I can agree with making more health responsible companies however it does also come down to personal choice at a certain point. For example I should be allowed to make a doze cupcakes with a buuunch of butter, sugar & frosting so they'll taste great but it's up to every individual in my household to limit how many of them they eat & how fast/soon they eat another. It's fine that they're extra fatty/sugary if the person eating them only plans to have one per weekend while otherwise eating healthy during the week. To some degree I would also be happy with bakers & some companies having the freedom to make reeeally good tasting treats (that aren't the healthiest) knowing I'll aim to make it a rare treat as apposed to a daily snack.

    A healthy tip I'd share is to learn how to make some of the foods you might regularly like to eat, such as bread, almond/nut milk, or even peanut butter, yourself. It's actually not that hard to make many foods from scratch, and by using raw ingredients (preferably organic) you can skip all the additives and junk you normally get when buying pre-made items off the shelf and potentially save a decent amount of cash too.

    It doesn’t resonate with me that much that non processed is that much more expensive. Buying ready meals regularly each for lets say 3-6 pounds is expensive. For 6 pounds I can get some simple ingredients for home cooked meal that would last longer than one serving of that processed meal. Bag of regular simple oats is cheaper than branded flavored cereals. When I buy at Aldi and stick to staples for my home made stews the bill is always very affordable, it is when I switch to more of “comfort food”, packed food that I wanted to try the bill goes noticeably higher.

And when I've travelled in poor countries, I've noticed that the kids are definitely not fussy. They'll eat almost anything. They're hungry. When I was bringing my kid up and she didn't like what I'd cooked (a fairly rare occurrence), I'd say, "Well, that's what there is, except you can have bread and cheese and fruit." Now that she's grown up she's a very eclectic eater and cooks real food for her own kids. As the twig is bent . . . .

    Important is that such difference was while their diets were crafted to have the same amount of fiber. In real life, if you eat ultra processed foods instead of whole foods (especially plant ones), your fiber intake will be much, much lower, so the difference will be even worse.

That of course would cast a highly suspicous light on the study. On the other hand I can't belive, that your train of thought of "ultra processed foods are easy to eat therefor they require minimal energy to consume" could be the reason either. That would mean that the process of eating - e.g. lifting the fork - would differ so siginficantly from the other method of eating (other fork?) that there would be weight difference of +1kg after two weeks!

I don't believe most people on the ultra-processed diet do so because they choose to but because that's all they can afford money and time-wise. Maybe the exception can be kids born into such struggling households. If we make healthy eating easier and more importantly convenient - I mean what's easier to eat when on a bus rushing to work or school, packaged snacks or eggs/salad/any balanced meal? - then we will see nation/global-wide improvements.

    Eating healthy and at home is not as expensive as I thought. I bought 3 packets of garden salad for $1.88 each at Walmart and it lasted 4-5 days for 2 of us to eat for lunch. Going to a restaurant once and ordering a salad is easily around $10. I feel like you can find healthy food and make it work for your family if you want-it just takes more effort putting it together versus just opening a lid or a box. I’m not healthy by any means-this video was very motivational. I just noticed the few times I’ve tried to eat healthier that it wasn’t as impossible or expensive as I imagined…

Children need a well rounded diet, that includes animal protein, healthy fats, some carbs, and fiber. A lettuce salad is basically all water soluble fiber. Not very nutritional for a developing human.

    "Food manufacturers take the health of consumers and safety of food they produce seriously" If this was actually anything remotely resembling the truth, the next part of the declaration would not even be necessary "and adhere to the strict regulations". The only reason the regulations exist is because the food industry cannot be trusted to take health and safety seriously.

    They will not tell you the foods or total consumed by those twins as they clearly did not control them at all. Weight gain or loss is only caused by calorie intake nothing else. They clearly did not control them to the same calories, or they cheated out of sight/monitoring. Fairly obvious what the 'required' result was and they engineered it. 'Additives' make zero difference to weight. Calories only, do that. Complete junk science to fake a result wanted for media purposes.

Without a mass return to the land home growing. Their made up definition of UPF is pure fantasy. Real science would isolate the particular chemicals and show an actual cause of some problem. As governments have done in proper testing. This is a catch all glib expression designed for media consumption of pseudoscience. Also utterly impractical. swap all seed oils for butter. Just try it! Enormous areas of land to sustain the dairy herds needed to do that. Let alone the price. Margarine, and cooking oils are perfectly fine.

    You'll die early of an amino-acid deficiency if you're not supplementing them properly (I assume you at least know how to supplement B-12, though synthetic B-12 is not optimal) and I'd really urge you to increase your cholesterol and instead of focussing on keeping them low focus on keeping a balance between your omega 6 and omega 3 fat intake. I assure you that too low cholesterol is far far more dangerous than high cholesterol. You may also want to supplement creatine to maintain healthy brain-function and more energy (normally you'd get enough creatine from meat and while your body is capable of synthesizing it you should get more of it to optimize your health). Also please please make sure you get at least 5 grams of salt a day, the WHO's recommendation of ~3g is not backed by scientific research in the slightest and too low sodium can be really detrimental to your cardiovascular health and brain function. Please note that this is just some friendly advice and I hope you don't take it as criticism, I just don't like to see people die an early death because they have been ill-informed. If you'd like to know more about proper health and diet I'd urge you to go to Dr. Eric Berg's youtube channel or use search terms with his name in it.

    I dont think emulsifiers are the problem. There is a long list of ingredients on packages but all of which can be broken down into macro-nutrients.. carbs, protein and fat. The fat or oil is the part people should look at, because of how the body deals with each different macro-nutrient. Carbs just get burned or turn into mono or saturated fat. But oil gets used as building blocks in your body.. so the unstable fats or 'pufa's' can cause chronic inflammation or break-down, this is most likely what causes alot of disease.

    If governments make processed foods more expensive and less accessible, this would help. Many poor ppl go for fast food and boxed foods because they are cheaper and cooking can be time consuming for a family struggling to find time to cook. Make healthy food less expensive and allow people more time to cook for their families by making the work day have time for ppl to head home and cook for their families. If you get home at 6pm, you aren't going to want to start chopping and cooking for an 1.5 to 2 hrs (which is what it takes me to cook a whole foods meal).
