Instant Genius<\/em> is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. And in this episode, we\u2019re exploring ultra-processed food.<\/p>\n

Have you ever struggled to put that packet of biscuits back in the cupboard after opening them? Or found yourself dialling for your favourite takeaway more often than you\u2019d really like to? If so, it sounds like you\u2019ve been under the influence of ultra-processed food (UPF). But what exactly are they and what are they doing to our bodies when we consume them?<\/p>\n

In this episode, we speak to Dr Chris van Tulleken, BBC TV presenter and infectious diseases doctor based at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in London. He tells me about the surprising discoveries he made about UPF when writing his latest book \u2013 Ultra-Processed People \u2013 Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn\u2019t Food \u2026 And Why Can\u2019t We Stop?<\/em><\/p>\n\nFind Instant Genius<\/em>\u00a0on your preferred podcast platform here:\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/instantgenius.podlink.to\/Podcast"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">instantgenius.podlink.to\/Podcast<\/a><\/p>\nListen to more episodes of Instant Genius:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/space\/space-politics-tim-gregory\/"\">How the battle for space will change the world, with Dr Tim Marshall<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/out-of-body-experiences-podcast\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Out-of-body experiences, with Dr Jane Aspell<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/dyslexia-theory-podcast\/"\">A bold new theory of dyslexia, with Prof Usha Goswami<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/brain-privacy\/"\">The fight to keep our brains private, with Nita Farahany<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/instant-genius-podcast\/body-clock\/"\">Synchronising your body clock, with Prof Russell Foster<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/?p=141801&preview=true"\">The multiverse, with Lord Martin Rees<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What ultra-processed food does to your gut \u2013 and easy ways to eat less of it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":27323,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":{"readingTimeMinutes":"2"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-ultra-processed-food-with-dr-chris-van-tulleken.jpg",940,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-ultra-processed-food-with-dr-chris-van-tulleken-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-ultra-processed-food-with-dr-chris-van-tulleken-300x128.jpg",300,128,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-ultra-processed-food-with-dr-chris-van-tulleken-768x327.jpg",768,327,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-ultra-processed-food-with-dr-chris-van-tulleken.jpg",800,340,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-ultra-processed-food-with-dr-chris-van-tulleken.jpg",940,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/42\/2023\/05\/instant-genius-podcast-ultra-processed-food-with-dr-chris-van-tulleken.jpg",940,400,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"What ultra-processed food does to your gut \u2013 and easy ways to eat less of it.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/27322"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/bbcsciencefocus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
