Excellent overview of our Lancet Series on UPFs and human health by Rob Percival. Rob is one of the non-UPF creators who has best captured Nova and the UPF concept.
The new Lancet series on UPF is just great. Especially in its articulation of the core Nova hypothesis, which critics often seem to misunderstand. This is what they're missing... 🧵 https://t.co/3lF3Ks9NMW

What is the definition of an ultra-processed food (UPF), and where did the concept originate? Why is the Nova classification system both a groundbreaking public health tool and a source of intense debate? And how can we use this framework to build healthier food systems around

From this great report: Sustainability practices, like the “Cocoa for Generations” plan outlined by Mars, or Pepsico’s “Pep+” initiatives are Band-Aids on broken bones. Large food corporations need to be phased out to make global food systems sustainable. https://t.co/OZJkTgpXZA

Another brilliant essay from Stuart (don't miss the others)! An appetizer: "Big Food continued to manufacture desire, ramping up its ‘innovation’ budgets ... which is why we now have 172 flavours of Pringles". https://t.co/p69FqrVEiu

Interesting four scenarios for how GLP-1 drugs could impact the UPF industry — and the health of people and the planet. https://t.co/y4ty7NZCSa

I’m launching an Ultra-Processed Snack bar today with @thebodycoach - it’s got 96 ingredients and over 200 health claims. My piece in the @DailyMail explains why - https://t.co/cz9CRnuX9d

This US Harvard cohort study and the equally superb UK UPDATE trial (below) show how wrong US and UK expert committees were when they recommended against including UPF reduction in national dietary guidelines. https://t.co/mC5kklwtin

From a superb study: "Overall, these findings highlight UPF consumption as a critical factor in assessing diet quality for optimal cardiometabolic health, extending beyond conventional food groups or properties considered in a relatively high-quality diet" https://t.co/oNK04TSZsE

Fantastic news (from 2 weeks ago): California’s Senate unanimously passed a bill banning UPFs in schools. Using markers like colors, flavors, sweeteners & emulsifiers, it will capture most UPFs in the US food supply.
theguardian.com
Experts hope that a ‘California effect’ will push other states to ban UPFs, similar to its law against six synthetic food dyes
