Ultra-processed food: are all UPFs bad for you?


Listen Later

Ultra-processed foods make up an estimated 60% of our diets in the UK. But with foods like bread, baked beans and breakfast cereals being classed as UPFs, should we really be removing them entirely from our diet?

In this episode of our healthy living podcast, our public health nutritionist Shefalee Loth and the founder of CityDietitians Sophie Medlin explain why UPFs are being demonised more and more, and reveal how you can maintain a health diet while still eating them.

Plus, our experts explain why your body might not be absorbing as many vitamins and nutrients as you think, thanks to food combinations and everyday habits that can inhibit nutrient uptake.
