Ultra-processed food: are all UPFs bad for you?

Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) make up an estimated 60% of our diets in the UK. But with foods like bread, baked beans and breakfast cereals being classed as UPFs, should we really be removing them entirely from our diet?

In the latest episode of our healthy living podcast, our public health nutritionist Shefalee Loth and the founder of CityDietitians Sophie Medlin explain why UPFs are being demonised more and more, and reveal how you can maintain a healthy diet while still eating them.

Plus, our experts explain why your body might not be absorbing as many vitamins and nutrients as you think, thanks to food combinations and everyday habits that can inhibit nutrient uptake.

Join us for a live recording of our health podcast on Tuesday 26 May at 6pm to put your questions to our experts.
