"The revolting reason cheap ice cream takes so long to melt: Just one of the alarming discoveries that's turned DR CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN off ultra-processed food for good - as he reveals in a book everyone who cares about their health should read
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) make up 60 per cent of average diet in the UK Increasing evidence of link to type 2 diabetes, obesity and other diseases"
Yet, since 2010, a vast body of data has emerged which indicates that UPF increases rates of cancer, metabolic disease, dementia and mental illness.We also know that it damages our gut lining and the all-important microbiome – the bacteria that live in our intestines."
"Five-year-olds in the UK don't just have some of the highest rates of obesity in Europe, they're also among the shortest by a significant amount – more than 5cm shorter than Danish and Dutch children of the same age"
"You don't get much whole food, such as meat and broccoli, for eight per cent of your budget. UPF, however, is quite a bit cheaper.
That's one of the reasons why, apart from the US, we eat more of the stuff than any other country.
Imagine you're in the poorest half of all UK households. If you wanted to adhere to our national healthy-eating guidelines, you'd need to spend almost 30 per cent of your disposable income."
