The Disturbing Reality Of Ultra-Processed Food

Ultra-processed food is taking over the grocery store, and it’s not just junk food either. A new article suggests some of the issues with these foods come from the fact that they’re ‘predigested’ - and we’re all eating a lot more of it than we think.

We all already know that junk food and fast food is addictive and unhealthy for us, but ultra-processed food is causing a lot of problems with our health, our weight and more. This might be the reason why.

In this video we're going to cover the Levels of Processing as seen in the NOVA Classification, we'll illustrate the difference between food and ultra-processed food using an apple and an apple pie from Mcdonalds, we'll learn about starch slurries and how food manufacturers are breaking foods down to their molecular parts before reassembling them into whatever 'food' they can think of. We'll also take a look at one of the worst offenders, Pringles, and discuss the difference between potato chips and whatever this is.
