Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn’t Food… and Why Can’t We Stop? by Chris van Tulleken — the eye-opening, bestselling investigation into the food that is reshaping our bodies and our health.
Doctor, scientist, and BBC broadcaster Chris van Tulleken takes readers deep into the world of ultra-processed food (UPF) — the industrially engineered products that now dominate supermarket shelves and modern diets. These are not simply “junk foods.” They are carefully designed substances that exploit our biology, drive overeating, and are strongly linked to rising rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and more.
Drawing on cutting-edge research, personal experiment, and clear science, van Tulleken explains how the food industry has created products that are hyper-palatable, cheap to produce, and almost impossible to stop eating. He shows why traditional nutritional advice often fails, and what the real drivers of the modern health crisis actually are.
Accessible, urgent, and deeply compelling, Ultra-Processed People is not a diet book. It is a powerful exposé that will change the way you look at the food in your kitchen — and help you make better choices for yourself and your family.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what is really on their plate.
