Would you eat food that’s been predigested? Experts say that’s what we’re doing when we consume many popular packaged foods — those breads, cereals, snack chips and frozen meals that have been refined, pounded, heated, melted, shaped, extruded and packed with additives. A growing body of research suggests that the extent of industrial processing that your food undergoes can alter its effects on your body, determining its impact on your appetite, hormones, weight gain, and likelihood of developing obesity and chronic diseases. This extreme processing creates foods that are so easily absorbed by the body that they’re essentially predigested. Many foods also are engineered to overcome our satiety mechanisms, which drives us to overeat and gain weight, experts say. In recent years, scientists have adopted a new name for foods that are intensely manipulated by food manufacturers: ultra-processed.

“What is life” 😂😂😂 i’m a whole food lover and trying to switch away from eating processed foods and I can say that I’ve seen so many Doctor 🤓 videos and so many different creators, but you are by far my favorite doctor food education creator so far. You make it so entertaining to watch.😂😂 while I’m getting my nerdy education I am so excited for more of your videos🎉🎉🤗🍎
Liam, where you at!?
Thank you for this, JD Vance impresario
What a shame.
Corn is not a good example, but if you want to use it, you should also mention that corn needs to be processed by nixtamalization (a process invented by people indigenous to the Americas) to make its nutrients more bioavailable. maybe you should have elaborated more on the distinction between different levels of food processing.
By that definition, anything you cook with flour is ultraprocessed
"Eating pre-digested food" is such a great way to describe this
So what I'm hearing is that this is what my hyper metabolism needs lol
Broken inside. Just like me.
Im glad you are teaching americans facts about food
It's not a very huge issue globally cause a lot of them are banned in places like Europe and those that are not are way more expensive to push people into buying the healthier alternatives which are lower price. Same with the heavy sugar tax Europe has so low income households are not forced to buy the most horrible options available for their health
What is the best/fastest/healthiest way to gain weight? I'm a lean body type, and I'm worried I may be on the verge of being underweight. I've recently done my exams in school, and they have put me under a lot of stress, and I have struggled to eat as much as I normally would.
This is such a great video!
The face when it was being sprayed with flavourings(?) 😂😂😂 On another note, dangitt i just bought a box of cereal this evening now i feel bad about having to eat something that was explained in detail is bad for me 🌧🌧 But on a serious note, thank you for this video. It is obvious people say "it is bad for you" but never really detailed like this video. So in my own limited experience, thank you 🫂🩷
SO IMPORTANT to get this info out, go you!! Since I switched to whole foods (mostly veg and meat), my fibromyalgia pain has plummeted, I have so much more energy, and I've lost over 90 pounds so far in 9 months!!
You didn't mention the loads of seed oils 😒
Making crisps/chips yourself is so easy, and adding flavour is super simple
It’s so true. I’m so sick of being a slave to processed foods. I used to (and still do sometimes) eat chips at night and other craps. Now I do my best to make it an Apple. I’m already seeing improvements, obviously.
I find it odd that so many dietitians are fighting online to say ultra processed food is healthy!!!
Also upsetting to consumers of Rold Gold and Doritos like myself: Frito Lay is basically using slave labor to create your chips and is being sued and protested. I was heart broken at the stories. Time to start looking for healthier snacks.
