On ‘Psychology Behind the Headlines,’ hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest functional dietician Tara Durden discuss the health risks associated with ultra-processed foods.
What Are Ultra-Processed Foods?
These foods often contain ingredients you can’t readily find at the grocery store, such as high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. Think fast food, sodas, and highly processed snacks.
Moderation is Key
Tara suggests limiting ultra-processed foods as much as possible, but acknowledges that occasional indulgences can help prevent binging later.
Prioritize Whole Foods
Make nutrient-dense whole foods the foundation of your diet for the best overall health and well-being.
