Body Smart Bites 45: Ultra Processed Foods and Obesity: How did this become the Standard American Diet?

  • Summary

  • Join Jaymie Moran and Stacey Jones as they uncover the profound shift in dietary habits since the 1970s, focusing on the rise of highly processed foods and their impact on our health.

    Jaymie reveals how these foods, engineered to be irresistibly palatable, disrupt our satiety signals, leading to overconsumption and increased calorie intake.

    Discover the stark contrast between traditional meals and modern processed foods, and learn why the latter makes it easy to consume thousands of calories without feeling full. Plus ultra processed foods (UPFs) are closely linked to obesity, as they require significantly less energy to digest.

    Stacey explores the socioeconomic changes that fueled this dietary change, highlighting how the rise of dual-income households led to the demand for convenience. In turn this fuelled the food industries to become the powerhouses they are today.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the hidden drivers behind our modern diet and the health impacts of this cultural shift.
