Are all processed foods bad? Not quite. In this episode, we break down the differences between processed, ultra-processed, and unprocessed foods—because the truth is more nuanced than social media trends suggest.

We also dive into the dangers of following health trends and self-proclaimed experts who push misinformation. From ultra-processed additives that pose real health risks to the growing intolerance of food processing methods that are actually beneficial—like freezing for nutrient preservation—we explore how misinformation can lead to poor health choices.

Balance is key. Eliminating certain highly processed foods can reduce health risks, but not all processing is detrimental. Tune in to learn how to navigate ingredient labels, use tools like Yuka, and make choices that support your health goals without falling for trend-driven fear-mongering.
