A nutrition expert has revealed what happened when he got his university student son to eat nothing but McDonald’s for ten days as a test. Appearing on diet guru Michael Mosley’s BBC podcast this month, Professor Tim Spector said that he wanted to see the impact of eating nothing but ultra processed food would have on someone.
Mr Spector, who didn’t name his son, revealed that he was studying at Aberystwyth University. He explained that the UK was in the grip of a food crisis because people are eating far too much ‘ultra processed’ food.
He told Mr Mosley how his experiment started - and how by the end he looked ‘terrible’. Prof Spector explained: “He hadn’t got much money and he actually liked going to McDonald’s. He said ‘I’d love to eat McDonald’s for 10 days - eating all my meals there sounds perfect.
