Ultra-processed foods : concerns, controversies, and exceptions
Michael Greger (Author)
Ultra-Processed Foods: Concerns, Controversies, and Exceptions by Michael Greger examines the role of ultra-processed foods in contemporary diets and their potential associations with health outcomes. The book reviews research on the shift in nutrition science from concerns about nutrient deficiencies to issues related to dietary excess and highly processed food consumption. It discusses the characteristics of ultra-processed foods, their prevalence in modern food systems, and their possible relationships with chronic diseases. The author also evaluates proposed mechanisms that may explain these associations and considers the health implications of certain processed plant-based alternatives compared with animal-based foods and whole plant foods
