This audiobook contains exclusive bonus content between Drs Chris and Xand van Tulleken, where they deep-dive into what you've just listened to at the end of each part.

An eye-opening investigation into the science, economics, history and production of ultra-processed food.

It's not you, it's the food.

We have entered a new 'age of eating' where most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food, food which is industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we really know what it's doing to our bodies?

Join Chris in his travels through the world of food science and a UPF diet to discover what's really going on. Find out why exercise and willpower can't save us, and what UPF is really doing to our bodies, our health, our weight, and the planet (hint: nothing good).

For too long we've been told we just need to make different choices, when really we're living in a food environment that makes it nigh-on impossible. So this is a book about our rights. The right to know what we eat and what it does to our bodies and the right to good, affordable food.

'Clearly a brilliant book' James O'Brien

'If you only read one diet or nutrition book in your life, make it this one' Bee Wilson

'A devastating, witty and scholarly destruction of the shit food we eat and why' Adam Rutherford

Eye opening and terrifying! Everyone should read this book so they can make more informed decisions as to what we are feeding ourselves and our families!

Profile Avatar Teresa B. Feb 2024

Great read and highlighted the way ‘food’ is altered ! Sad that big corporations have such influence on governments but also the cause and effect that increases our health expenditure due to the effect UPF has! Lots of justification with studies. Excellent book

Profile Avatar Yvonne N. Aug 2023

Eye opening book on the food industry. I have always been interested in nutrition, but ultra-processed goes beyond this. I know I'm not going to be able to avoid UPF all of the time, but this information gives me the awareness to make decisions and at least reduce my intake.

Listened to this as too many big words for me! Really made me think about my attitude to “food” and how gullible I am to marketing companies. I have started to look more into this and I’m finding the wider subject very interesting. If you’re looking for a definitive answer on what to eat, it isn’t here but the tools to help you adjust and question what you buy and put in your body most definitely are. Great informative read, I’m about to restart it!

Superb, learned and well evidenced author. It has left me angry, shocked about Big Food and highly motivated to change mine and my families food choices.
