A doctor has revealed the shocking truth about our supermarket meal deal lunches.
Dr Chris van Tulleken has written a new book, Ultra-Processed People, which explores how our diets are influenced by ‘ultra processed foods’ — or UPFs. These foods are ‘wrapped in plastic and contain at least one additive that you don’t normally find in a domestic kitchen’, he told BBC Radio 4’s Saturday Live this morning (April 29).
UPFs include foods we might even view as harmless. Forget fatty meat or microwave lasagnes, supermarket bread is ultra-processed, the book says.
