📢Sharing our new policy report on #UltraProcessedFoods in the diets of 👶👦👧 in the UK. Concerningly we find that #UPFs exist in all commercial baby & toddler food categories & among foods targeted at pre-schoolers. See firststepsnutrition.org/childrens-food… #BabyFood #ChildHealth #Nutrition 
🥣 In particular a large proportion of commercial 'finger foods' (i.e. snacks) & baby cereals are #UPF. The true extent of ultra-processing of the foods marketed for 👶👦👧is probably underestimated as we rely on ingredient markers on product labels
Mega spannende Studie: Je mehr hochverarbeitete Lebensmittel (#UPF) konsumiert werden, desto höher ist das #Krebs-Risiko. Klingt wenig überraschend. ABER: Sehr aufschlussreich ist der Blick in die Lebensmittelgruppen: ...

Hier wird deutlich: Der negative Effekt hochverarbeiteter Lebensmittel (Kausalität vorausgesetzt!) ist im Wesentlichen ein Effekt von #Softdrinks und Säften. Andere Produkte (z. B. pflanzliche Fleischalternativen) spielen hier überhaupt keine Rolle. ⬇️ ...

.@vickysibson: #NOVAClassification for foods featuring categories for raw & minimally processed foods, processed culinary ingredients, processed foods and ultraprocesed foods and drink. The latter category includes all infant milks #bfconf
Ultra processed foods definition captures far more foods than just "junk" or high in fat, salt, sugar aka HFSS foods from UK govt's nutrient profiling model (NPM) #bfconf
Do we understand the food we eat? Know it, intimately? The few who do, are making ginormous profits from our ignorance. The state is complicit. We are oblivious.
Farmers sell #wheat for Rs21/kg while we buy packaged whole wheat flour @ Rs41/kg. So how is the food processing industry benefiting either farmers or consumers? What explains this wholesale-retail price wedge?
India's native oils like mustard, groundnut, sesame, coconut etc were sacrificed to push refined and 'pure' packaged oils. Which made us heavily import dependent; now oil prices hit the roof during events beyond our control. Who is minting this crisis?
