Would you volunteer to eat exclusively ultra-processed foods for a research experiment? ...with Dr Samuel Dicken

from Nutrition Science Bites with Professor Clare Collins AO

In this conversation, Professor Clare Collins interviews Dr Samuel Dicken from University College London about ultra-processed foods, the definitions and results of his research study that compared what happened when people were fed only ultra-processed or minimally processed diets for 8 weeks. Their discussion highlights how much ultra-processed foods people now usually eat, association with health issues, and the need for better research and practical guides to help people. Dr Dicken shares insights from his study, which showed significant differences in weight loss and health outcomes between the two dietary patterns, emphasizing the importance of addressing the food system, food manufacturing, reformulation and strategies to help people eat healthily.Link to Dr Dicken's research study hereMore on ultra-processed foods: No Money No Time Ultra-Processed, Ultra-Common: What are Australians Eating?To access the Healthy Eating Quiz: Go to our No Money No Time website and click on the top right hand 'green button' called 'How healthy is my diet' https://nomoneynotime.com.au/Want a more Personalised Food, Nutrient Assessment Report?
