Ultra Processed Food - Making you fat without extra calories

I hope so too. Thank you for posting the link about the Copenhagen study. I think they have different outcomes of interest and the microplastics angles is interesting and in my opinion an area of research that needs much more attention. Nutritional epidemiology is so complicated. I had to chuckle a little when they were describing in the methodology section that subjects were blinded as to whether they were receiving the unprocessed and ultraprocessed diets. I can tell you from experience that I can usually tell the difference between a floret of raw broccoli and a package of Oreos.

GIGO.

Don’t eat that shit. It screws up the insulin/glucose metabolism and makes you more insulin resistant.

This is how you create people who can’t go more than 4 hours between snacks, and who feel like ā€œI am dyingā€ if they go more than 8 or (gawd ferbid) 12 waking hours without eating.

I do make all of our sausages… but I don’t dip my own nuts in chocolate. I fear the wife wouldn’t approve.

Wow, this is super interesting. Thank you for participating. I would get cranky fast on the UPF phase of the diet, so I hope that part isn’t too hard on you.

Maybe she’d waaay approve. Love to make my own sausages, but my lazy bone says that my friends always make great stuff for me, so why start and ruin the bonding time? There are some terrible sausages out there, and they taste way over processed, probably in an effort to make bad meat taste good.

I like my nuts raw.
