ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS: Are you what you eat?

Ultra-processed foods are one of the biggest conversations in nutrition, and one of the most confusing. Is all processed food bad? Do you really have to ditch the freezer nuggets? In this bonus episode, Dr Nichola Conlon explains what warning signs you need to look out for on your food labels, what a controlled clinical trial revealed about overeating UPFs, and how these foods can affect biological ageing. She’ll answer your questions on finding a realistic middle ground and whether past damage can be reversed. And she settles the great online debate: Is yoghurt ultra-processed? Plus we'll delve into the case files of an Eastenders legend. Got a question for Dr Nichola? Send it in via our socials.
