Ultra-Processed Foods: Rigged System for Overconsumption
Description
Ultra-processed foods, linked to obesity, heart disease, depression, and cancer, are designed to be addictive, mimicking the tobacco industrys tactics. New research reveals how these foods hit our bliss points with perfect combinations of refined carbs and fats, bypassing our fullness signals and leaving us craving more.

Dr. Kelly Garton argues that this is a rigged system pushing overconsumption, and its time to disrupt it for real change.
