Evidence-based health answers you can trust. Reclaim your health and change your life.

In this episode of Revolution Health Radio, Chris takes a deep dive into the latest research on ultra-processed foods, their potential impact on health, what distinguishes ultra-processed foods from minimally-processed and traditionally-processed foods, and why a Nutrition Facts label may not capture everything that matters about a food. He examines research linking higher ultra-processed food consumption with overeating, weight gain, metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, and other adverse health outcomes, and also explores potential mechanisms, including disruption of the food matrix, changes to the gut microbiome, intestinal barrier dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, food additives, and effects on the gut-brain axis.
