Episode notes

As Adrienne reflects on 6 years of the Power Hour, we are going to share some of our favourite episodes from the archives on Thursdays.

Today we're sharing April 2023's episode all about Ultra-processed food, with guest Dr Chris van Tulleken. Since this episode Chris has been on a mission to get us discussing our diets and making positive healthy changes, and the phrase ultra-processed food has become common parlance!

From the episode notes...

Adrienne is joined by the wonderful Dr Chris van Tulleken to discuss his new book Ultra-Processed People. In the book Dr Chris discusses how we have entered a new 'age of eating' where most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food, food which is industrially processed and designed and marketed to be addictive. But do we really know what it's doing to our bodies?

Dr Chris van Tulleken is an infectious disease doctor at University College London Hospitals, and a Medical Research Council clinical research fellow at University College London in the Greg Towers lab, where he studies viral evolution and HIV. He has worked with aid organisations around the world over the past 10 years, including Doctors of the World. He also presents a range of programmes for the BBC including the double-Bafta winning Operation Ouch!. He is on Twitter @DoctorChrisVT
