@bdccarpenter: ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS ARE VERY BAD FOR YOU!!! We might regret this one. Video with @Sohee Carpenter Some people seem to struggle to realise two things can be true at the same time. When we say “we shouldn’t exaggerate the health risks of foods” we immediately get people accusing us of downplaying the health risks of diets high in ultra-processed foods. Which is a bit silly. We have repeatedly talked about research that links ultra-processed foods with worse health outcomes. If you eat a lot of cookies, doughnuts, cakes and ice cream and you do not eat many fruits, vegetables, sources of fibre and lean proteins, of course this will take it’s toll on your health. BUT if you want to take your knowledge one-step further, you need to realise this isn’t the same as people saying “YOU NEED TO AVOID ALL ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE DEVIL!” For example, if you look at research that breaks down foods into subcategories, several ultra-processed food groups are not linked with the same adverse health outcomes. Ultra-processed bread isn’t the same as gummy worms. Flavoured yogurts are not the same as sodas. Too many people in grocery stores stand there saying how ultra-processed foods are killing you and you need to avoid them all at all costs. All we are asking for is for people to inform you of the benefits and risks of foods honestly, without fear mongering. Is that really too much to ask? P.S.
