The Modern Food Pandemic: How Industry Hijacked Our Bodies

Imagine walking through a supermarket where 60% of what's sold isn't actually food, but rather "edible substances" engineered to override your body's natural controls. This isn't science fiction - it's our reality. Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have silently transformed human health, creating what physician Chris van Tulleken calls "ultraprocessed people." These products - wrapped in bright packaging and marketed with health claims - are fundamentally different from anything humans evolved to eat. They're not simply unhealthy food; they're industrial creations designed through corporate natural selection to maximize consumption and profit, regardless of the consequences to our bodies or planet. The evidence is overwhelming: UPFs increase risks of cancer by up to 30%, accelerate cognitive decline, damage gut health, and fuel epidemics of obesity and diabetes. Most disturbingly, these effects occur regardless of weight gain. We're not just becoming heavier - we're becoming fundamentally different beings, our bodies and minds transformed by industrial food technology in ways we're only beginning to understand.
