Ultra processed foods comprise over half of American caloric intake and pose health risks, potentially being addictive. Processed foods undergo alteration before purchase, like canned tomatoes or cheese. Ultra-processed foods are unlike home-cooked meals, containing additives for shelf stability, such as preservatives or sugar, and undergoing processes like hydrogenation. Nutritionally, ultra-processed foods suffer from a breakdown of the food matrix, causing deterioration of original nutrients due to extensive processing.

Ultra processed food is designed to be addictive and not filling, leading to overconsumption. The rise in calorie intake is linked to increased consumption of ultra processed foods, which are engineered to make us eat more. This has created a mass addiction crisis, with parents unknowingly feeding their kids harmful foods. To address this, we need to reduce ultra processed food consumption by removing corrupt nutrition researchers and advisors. This will prevent companies from manipulating our food choices.

Ultra processed food is engineered to hijack your biology, leading to addiction, weight gain, and sickness. It causes chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and nutrient deficiencies. The combination of refined carbs, fats, and sugar in these foods doesn't exist in nature, and the brain isn't wired to handle it. This combination lights up the brain's reward center, causing overeating and cravings. These foods are unfilling; a person can eat thousands of calories and still feel hungry. Some processed foods contain additives that suppress hunger and fullness signals, so people don't know when they've had enough. To feel better, have more mental clarity, and jump start health, one should start with cutting processed foods.

If you wanted to make a perfect food to get people addicted, overweight, and sick, you'd create ultra processed food. It's not just unhealthy. It's literally engineered to hijack your biology. This stuff leads to chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and nutrient deficiencies. The mix of refined carbs, fats, and sugar you find in processed foods, that combination doesn't exist in nature. Your brain is not wired to handle it. It lights up your reward center in your brain like a slot machine, causing overeating and unending cravings. Even worse, it's completely unfilling. Imagine sitting down eating an entire bag of potato chips, literally thousands of calories, and you're still hungry. So if you want to start feeling better, have more mental clarity, and jump start your health, let's start with cutting processed foods.

Consuming processed foods is bad for the microbiome, regardless of macronutrient profile. Prioritizing whole, plant-based foods with fiber leaves less room for processed foods, essentially avoiding them. There is data showing why different components of processed food are bad for us and our microbiome.

"Seed oils are called polyunsaturated fatty acids." "Poly meaning many." "Unsaturated mean a type of oil that it's very very fragile and unstable." "Now the first thing you need to know is that when they talk about vegetable oils they're really talking about seed oils." "It comes from corn, soy, canola, things like that." "They're considered one part of the ultra processed food category which they use industrial processing where they're heating, adding hexane, which is a solvent that's in gasoline." "And so they go through this incredible refining process where you end up with this very refined empty oil." "And one of the reasons they do this is so it can sit on the shelf for a long period of time." "We consume like 25 to 30% of our calories with this right here."

Ultra-processed foods transform basic ingredients like corn into products unrecognizable from their original source, such as Lucky Charms or Funyuns. These foods undergo extensive processing and contain numerous additives, preservatives, and synthetic chemicals, making them more of a "food-like product" than actual human food. According to a BMJ study from about two years ago, ultra-processed foods constitute approximately 60% of the average American adult's diet.

Many ultra-processed foods like chips and goldfish contain zero sugars. However, these foods are still unhealthy due to their starch content. When total carbohydrates are reduced by sugars and fiber, the remaining component is starch. The starches in these products are typically maltodextrin, modified food starch, or modified cornstarch, not potatoes or rice. These starches have a higher glycemic index than actual sugar, meaning they have a greater impact on blood sugar levels. In effect, starch has a bigger effect on your blood sugars than actual sugar.

The best way to avoid deceptive food tactics is to avoid foods needing ingredient labels. Whole foods don't require labels; a child can identify a single-ingredient food like broccoli, an egg, or a peach found in nature. Reading ingredient labels is a red flag, as it usually indicates a processed food that is bad for you.

Vegetable oils used in food products are not real food. They are manufactured using heat, chemicals, and high pressure, which oxidizes the delicate seed oils. Fast food restaurants often use these oils in a carcinogenic way, repeatedly heating and reusing them. A researcher found toxic aldehydes in French fries from various fast food places. Advising people to consume vegetable oils is misinformation. It is recommended to avoid industrial seed oils as much as possible. Refined vegetable oils are commonly found in processed and packaged foods, from crackers to baby formula.

By cutting out seed oils, processed sugars, and milled grains, you eliminate processed foods and improve health. In a study, one group ate unprocessed foods like beef and vegetables, while the other had processed foods like cookies. Both groups received the same calories and nutrients. Those on unprocessed foods ate 500 fewer calories daily and lost weight, while the processed food group consumed 500 more calories and gained weight. Processed foods are less filling and engineered to make you hungrier.

ultra processed foods are engineered to make you overeat. The best nutrition studies we have hands down are these controlled studies where they take groups of people, put them in a lab, and they say, you can eat as much as you want of these foods and you can eat as much as you want these foods. On average, you'll eat about 600 more calories a day with the heavily processed foods because they engineered them to make you overeat. This is why if you put a family size bag of Lay's potato chips in front of me and you told me to eat it in thirty minutes and you'd give me $10 to do so, I could do it. But if you gave me five plain boiled potatoes, I wouldn't. It's the same potatoes. It's the same amount. But the plain one, I'm gonna gag after eating the third one.

The processed food industry has discovered methods to make food addictive while removing its nutritional value. People are addicted to the synthesized taste of these foods, which lack nutrients. The result is consumption of unhealthy food filled with laboratory-created chemicals that the body is not designed to metabolize.

This is the simplest thing you can do to lose weight. Avoid the fat triad. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, we know that eating processed foods like these will leave you fat, sick, and unhealthy. All processed foods are composed of the fat triad, the three worst things for humans to eat. Seed oils, processed sugar, and processed grains. Think about it. Every processed food you eat, chips, cookies, candies, cakes, cereals, breads, contains the fat triad. They contain seed oils like corn, canola, or soybean. They contain processed sugars, high fructose corn syrup, or dextrose, and they contain processed grains like wheat or corn. Cutting out the fat triad, seed oils, processed sugars, and processed grains from your life will absolutely result in you losing weight effortlessly, and you will get healthier along the way. Guaranteed.

Eating ultra processed foods increases the risk of adverse health outcomes like heart disease, cancer, mental disorders, and mortality. Research shows a 15-27% higher risk of death, 51-84% higher risk of heart disease-related death, and increased risks for various cancers and mental health issues. Common mental disorders like depression and anxiety are also linked to ultra processed food consumption. To improve health, consider cutting out sugary cereals, deli meats, potato chips, processed cheese slices, soda, and pre-packaged pastries, which are common sources of ultra processed foods. Aim to reduce reliance on these unhealthy foods for better overall well-being.

Ultra processed foods should come with a black box warning that they put on certain medications to warn people against the serious side effects. I mean the side effects from ultra processed food are worse than some of the drugs. It should basically say ultra processed maybe food like stuff with a black box warning so people know what's gonna happen if they eat that. That is not the solution. The solution starts with education on the basic foods that really fit this definition of the word food out of the dictionary.

Doritos contain harmful ingredients like glyphosate-drenched corn, seed oils, MSG, and food dyes associated with negative effects. Glyphosate is a pesticide linked to cancer, while seed oils contribute to obesity and metabolic issues. MSG increases appetite and harms male reproductive function. Food dyes like yellow number 5 cause hyperactivity in kids, and red forty is associated with irritable bowel syndrome. With these addictive ingredients, Doritos are considered one of the unhealthiest foods available.

It's nearly impossible to find non-processed healthy food in a regular grocery store because 75% of the store is processed sugar and seed oils. Fried banana chips, local fried corn treats, roasted nuts, tortillas, yogurts, flavored milks, and energy drinks are full of seed oils and processed sugar. The speaker asks, where are the animal fats? The meat counter is about the only spot in the whole store where you can easily avoid processed sugars and seed oils. This is why so many people are sick and unhealthy.

Seed oils are polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are fragile and unstable. Vegetable oils are actually seed oils derived from corn, soy, and canola, not from vegetables. Seed oils are part of the ultra-processed food category, created through industrial processing involving heating and the use of hexane, a solvent found in gasoline. This refining process yields a shelf-stable, empty oil. It's estimated that 25-30% of our caloric intake comes from these oils.

Seed oils are called polyunsaturated fatty acids. Poly meaning many, unsaturated meaning a type of oil that it's very, very fragile and unstable. Now the first thing you need to know is that when they talk about vegetable oils, they're really talking about seed oils. It comes from corn, soy, canola, things like that. They're considered one part of the ultra processed food category, which they use industrial processing where they're heating, adding hexane, which is a solvent that's in gasoline. And so they go through this incredible refining process where you end up with this very refined empty oil. We consume like 25 to 30% of our calories with this right here.

Hot dogs are ultra-processed meat, unlike unprocessed meat like steak or hamburger. Ultra-processed foods like hot dogs and American "cheese" contain microplastics, which are not good for humans. The takeaway is to avoid being fooled by ultra-processed meat, cheese, and foods in general. Red meat, chicken, fish, eggs, and even pork are fine, as are unprocessed plant foods like fruits and vegetables. A diet of mostly unprocessed animal and plant foods will lead to health and weight loss.

The McDonald's Big Mac contains more than just bread and beef. The bun has canola and soybean oil, along with sugar. The pickles have 10 ingredients, including potassium sorbate, polysorbate 80, and aluminum salts. The lettuce is plain, but the secret sauce has seed oils, canola oil, soybean oil, propylene glycol, high fructose corn syrup, and caramel color. There's another beef patty, more secret sauce, and a piece of American cheese that's not real cheese and contains microplastics. This is why many Americans are unhealthy. It's better to eat real food like meat, organs, fruit, honey, and raw dairy, and avoid ultra-processed food like the Big Mac.
