Ep. 37 - Ultra-processed foods. Some will kill you quickly, some will kill you slowly, but they all will kill you.

In this episode of Sugar Crush, host, Dr. Rick Jacoby, discusses the implications of ultra-processed foods on cardiovascular disease (CVD) based on a literature review by Dr. Joanne Manson. While highlighting that 60-70% of the U.S. diet comprises these foods, he critiques the inconclusive findings regarding their health impacts. Manson's analysis indicates a significant risk increase for heart disease and stroke linked to high intake. Jacoby argues that all ultra-processed foods contribute negatively to health, proposing a need for clearer messaging on their dangers. He emphasizes the role of sugar in chronic diseases and promotes his book, "Unglued," which addresses the effects of sugar and potential remedies.
