Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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.

Finally, some real answers and direction!
Can't fault it. Very informative and enjoyable. I've struggled with obesity and binge eating all my life and spent a fortune trying to resolve my food addiction. This book is a life saver.

Food for thought 🤔
This is a very well written book which communicates complex ideas in a simple and easy to understand manner. The level of detail the author has included is very thorough but not overwhelming. I highly recommend listening to this book even if you're not intending on changing what you eat, you will learn something about the food you eat.

Very eye opening
This is such an important book to read/listen to. Life is busy and we're all forgiven for taking short cuts but understanding how those short cuts have come about is truly enlightening. I'm now an avid ingredients label reader; fascinated by what goes into my body and the impact it has on me.

Very important and very approachable book
Intelligently and sensitively written, thoroughly researched and entertaining and empowering to read. This book needs to go into secondary schools to be studied immediately. Hopefully things will change very soon so that it does.

Life Changing
Totally blown away by how skilfully the content has been pulled together without appearing to miss out anything.
So many ah ha moments from start to finish delivered with passion context and excellent narration.
If you want the knowledge to make informed choices about what “food” you put in your body this is the book for you.
