S1 E3: Should I avoid ultra-processed foods?

Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of Even the Sparrow! Today we are diving into a HOT topic in the nutrition world: ultra-processed foods. While much of the research suggests an association between higher consumption of ultra-processed foods and an increased risk of disease development, is this the end of the story? If you feel overwhelmed by who and what to believe online about if it's "safe" to enjoy these foods, this episode is for YOU!


We get into:

  • defining what it means for a food to be "processed"
  • major limitations of the available research on ultra-processed foods and disease development
  • can we confidently conclude that UPFs are causing disease, or are there other factors to consider?
  • "toxic chemicals" in our food
  • "ingredients that are banned in other countries"
  • how we should approach this conversation as Christians
