Very informative. Giving people absolute risk data on UPF’s and highlighting personal choice is what is needed. I personally stay away from them but if I want something I’ll eat it. Moderation is important. Thanks for the great series.

I’m sensing that Big Nutrition has figured out how to keep the money coming. Failure on their part to make any positive difference in health outcomes doesn’t deter them from the use of observational studies in forming useless dietary recommendations. So now on to UPFs. Acknowledging that observational studies are weak but the “best we can do” doesn’t make them worth anything at all. The nutrition industry needs to extricate itself from the failed paradigm of calories in and out and instead concentrate its efforts on understanding the biology of the fat cell.
