Globally, more than one trillion kilograms of ultra-processed foods are sold each year, and more than half the calories we consume every day come from ultra-processed foods - industrial formulations that contain more than five ingredients you’ll never find in your kitchen like emulsifiers, preservatives, additives and dyes. These foods are tasty, addictive and, according to scientists, are killing us.   

In Food:Fight The Truth About Ultra-Processed Foods, join dieticians and scientists from around the world on a quest to reveal the truth behind Ultra-Processed Foods.  Their goal is to convince us to stop obsessing over fats vs. carbs or counting calories. Instead, they want us to focus on what food actually is and overcome our addiction to Ultra-Processed Foods before it’s too late.
