Those of you who have read the book , what conclusion have you come to? Personally what will you do about it? For me it’s a real eye opener

Read it, massively reduced my upf intake. I've lost weight 😁

The main thing I remember is the additives for mouth feel or to give consistency nothing to do with flavour or nutrition. Since reading it I can notice it in prepackaged foods. It doesn't stop me eating those things all the time but the awareness makes me choose whole foods more often.

I think I could read it now that I’ve really reduced upfs. A couple of years ago I wanted to but knew it would just make me feel stressed but unable to change! Gradually I’ve made some switches and generally think about what’s in my food more. I bet it contains some horrifying details though. It’s a racket to addict us isn’t it?! I’d recommend Yuka app for anyone interested in sifting out some of the junk. It is definitely an eye opener too.
