Dr Chris Van Tulleken investigates the world of ultra processed foods in a new BBC documentary What Are We Feeding our Kids? revealing how hyper processed food change our brain chemistry.
READ MORE:Sugary drinks and processed meats are the only two ultra processed foods associated with a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes, Harvard researchers have discovered.
UPFs make up 57 per cent of the average UK diet — and the category includes fizzy drinks, processed meats like ham and bacon, as well as breakfast cereal. Those who had prior cardiovascular disease, cancer or who had a high BMI were excluded from the study. Food experts say some UPFs can be 'part of a healthy diet'. Baked beans, fish fingers and wholemeal bread all make the cut, according to the British Nutrition Foundation . Tomato-based pasta sauces, wholegrain breakfast cereals and fruit yoghurts are also 'healthier processed foods', the charity says
For example, bread sold in supermarkets is often classed as a UPF but Professor Kuhnle explains it can still be healthy.
