Are processed foods unhealthy? A new study suggests we're divided on how to answer that question.   Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is one of the authors of that study.   He joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room to dive into the results -- and why it matters that Americans are so conflicted about which class of foods are healthy, and which will make you sick.   Dr. Barnard will review the most purchased processed foods and identify which are the most and least healthy.   He will also go over the results of a PCRM survey showing Americans' opinions on processed foods. Many are unaware that the majority of food that they're eating is ultra processed. But not all processed foods are created equally.   This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J.

Episode Summary: In this compelling episode of "The Laser Light Show," Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells analyze the recently published MAHA report that reveals concerning trends in child health in America. The report attributes the growing health crisis to ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, digital addiction, and the excessive use of medical therapies. Yet the report overlooks promising solutions like low-level laser therapy, which Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells argue is crucial in reversing these alarming health trends. Join them as they delve into how laser technology can play a pivotal role in health recovery. The discussion leads with an examination of systemic failures but quickly progresses to potential solutions, particularly emphasizing the power of light therapy as an overlooked intervention. The guests discuss historical usage of laser therapies in other countries like Russia, highlighting its as-yet-unrealized potential in the U.S. healthcare system. Through enlightening anecdotes and expert perspectives, they argue for broader adoption and understanding of laser solutions in addressing chronic health issues, not only for the individual but also from a systemic, societal perspective. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration for anyone concerned with the current state and future of healthcare. Key Takeaways: The recent MAHA report signals a dire health crisis among American children, primarily driven by poor nutrition, environmental toxins, excessive screen time, and overreliance on medical interventions. There is a growing divide between traditional healthcare methods and innovative solutions, with laser therapy offering a versatile, effective tool that has not been fully embraced. Low-level laser therapy has over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies attesting to its effectiveness for diverse health concerns, yet it remains sidelined in mainstream American medical practices. Historical examples, such as government-endorsed laser therapy in Russia, underline the therapy's viability and yet-to-be-tapped potential in America. Advocacy for improved dialogue and openness to alternative therapies is necessary to shift current healthcare approaches and foster better health outcomes. Notable Quotes: "A federal report just confirmed what many of us… have been saying for years. We are facing the sickest generation of children in American history." - Dr. Chad Woolner "Some of the MAHA report is like obvious, but some of it… really deserves some attention for once." - Dr. Andrew Wells "We should be able to find some degree of common ground when we're talking about health." - Dr. Chad Woolner "Lasers can do just about, if not everything medicine can do, but better and with less side effects." - Dr. Chad Woolner "The great thing is there's a lot of good things that you can use. The hard thing from a government standpoint is there's a lot of really cool things that you could do for a lot of different health issues." - Dr. Andrew Wells Resources: Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Studies - Search for "low-level laser therapy" on PubMed for extensive scientific research.

How the tobacco industry drove the rise of ultra-processed foods

In the early 1960s, R.J. Reynolds, one of the largest and most profitable tobacco companies in the U.S. at the time, wanted to diversify its business. Its marketing strategies had been highly successful in selling its top brands, like Camel, Winston and Salem cigarettes, and executives thought, Why not apply the same strategies to, say, the food industry?So in 1963, R.J. Reynolds acquired Hawaiian Punch. It marked the beginning of the tobacco industry's entry into the food sector. In the following decades, R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris expanded aggressively into the food industry, acquiring major brands, like Del Monte, Nabisco, General Foods, Kraft and 7UP, where they produced hyperpalatable, chemically-engineered foods now known as ultra-processed foods, or UPFs. These products were marketed especially to children and other vulnerable groups. In Berkeley Talks episode 229, Laura Schmidt, a professor of health policy in the School of Medicine at UC San Francisco, discusses how ultra-processed foods — like cookies, sodas, instant noodles, fish sticks and cereals — are a direct legacy of the tobacco industry, and are responsible for a dramatic rise in obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases across the country. “About 60% of the calories in Americans' diets are from ultra-processed foods,” says Schmidt, who spoke at a UC Berkeley event in May. “In the mid-'80s, when we see ultra-processed foods starting to scale up in the American food supply, we also see obesity starting to really rise. That is the moment when some of the largest food companies are owned by tobacco companies.”This talk took place on May 5, 2025, and was co-sponsored by the Berkeley Food Institute (BFI) and Berkeley Public Health. It was moderated by Isabel Madzorera, an assistant professor in food, nutrition and population health at Berkeley Public Health and co-faculty director at the Berkeley Food Institute.Watch a video of the event on the Berkeley Food Institute's YouTube page.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Music by HoliznaCC0.Photo by Cory Doctorow via Wikimedia Commons.

The discussion explored how processed foods can be addictive and harmful, while emphasizing the importance of reading labels and choosing whole, unprocessed foods.

Summary Food Addiction Awareness Discussion Chef and Bertrand discussed the growing awareness and concern around the topic of food addiction, noting its increasing presence in media and public discourse. Bertrand highlighted the similarity between the techniques used by tobacco companies to create addiction and those applied by the food industry, emphasizing the success of these strategies in forming habits. Chef expressed excitement about the potential of Go Cocoa as a solution to help people, while Julie, a repeat guest, shared her enthusiasm for being part of the discussion. Go Coco: Healthier Food Choices Chef welcomed Julie and Bertrand to the podcast, highlighting their role in creating the Go Coco app, which helps people, especially those with diabetes, identify and avoid ultra-processed foods. Bertrand explained the app's origins in Spain six years ago and its mission to improve health by offering better food choices. Julie, a registered dietitian, shared her experience working with Go Coco, emphasizing her focus on empowering consumers to make healthier decisions for themselves and their families. Ultra-Processed Foods and Diabetes Risk The discussion focused on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and their impact on diabetes. Julie explained that UPFs are foods that wouldn't be found in a home kitchen and are often highly palatable and addictive, with a study showing a 17% increased risk of type 2 diabetes for every 10% increase in UPF consumption. Bertrand shared user experiences with artificial sweeteners having similar effects to sugar, and both Julie and Bertrand emphasized that people with diabetes should reduce their consumption of UPFs by focusing on whole, unprocessed foods. They also discussed how UPFs often contain unhealthy fats and can lead to weight gain, with Bertrand noting that processed foods are designed to be addictive and consumed in larger quantities despite having the same nutritional profile as unprocessed alternatives. Portion Control and Food Cravings The group discussed the challenges of portion control and food cravings, particularly for snack foods like Doritos and cake. Julie explained a study about the first bite of cake being the most satisfying, leading to overeating. They emphasized the importance of reading food labels and choosing foods with simple, recognizable ingredients. Julie recommended using the Go Coco app to scan food labels and get information on ultra-processed foods. The conversation concluded with a discussion on rethinking convenience in diabetes-friendly eating, suggesting that whole, less processed foods like fruits and nuts can be convenient options. Misleading Food Label Terminology Chef and Julie discussed the misleading nature of food labels, particularly terms like "low sugar" and "diabetes-friendly," which can still refer to ultra-processed foods. Julie explained that such products often contain multiple non-nutritive sweeteners and added fats to maintain taste, and she emphasized that whole, unprocessed foods are more satisfying and less likely to lead to overeating. Bertrand noted that "low fat" claims are not found on fruits and vegetables, and Chef agreed that these labels can mislead consumers. Healthy Eating Strategies for Diabetes Chef Robert, Julie, and Bertrand discussed practical strategies for improving diet and health, particularly for those with diabetes. Julie introduced a new feature in the Go Coco app, the real food tracker, which analyzes meals and provides advice on improving nutrition. Bertrand emphasized the importance of small, gradual changes in diet, such as reducing ultra-processed foods and replacing sugary drinks with alternatives like sparkling water. Chef Robert encouraged listeners to make subtle changes to their eating habits and adopt a healthier lifestyle. Julie expressed hope in the power of conversation and suggested focusing on adding healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables, rather than subtracting unhealthy ones. GoCoCo: Healthy Food Choices App The meeting focused on the Gococo app, which helps users make healthier food choices by scanning products and providing nutritional information. Bertrand explained that the app offers a free trial and a free version, with additional features available for a fee. Julie emphasized that user feedback has been instrumental in developing the app's features, particularly for people living with diabetes.

Eric shared real moments from the past week where he had to live this out—including owning a mistake, dealing with criticism, and surrendering outcomes he couldn't control. Through Isaiah 50:10–11, we saw that trusting God means not lighting our own torch, not taking control, but surrendering to Him in the dark. The Process—Feel your feelings. Tell the truth. Trust God—isn't a vending machine. It's more like farming. It takes time, effort, and trust. Eric reminded us that true life and growth come from acknowledging we're powerless, surrendering to Jesus, and believing God will care for us. Whether you're just starting or starting again, The Process is how we guard our hearts and stay connected to Jesus in a tragic world.

Have you ever felt addicted to ultra-processed foods---like you knew they were bad for you, but you couldn't stop indulging? This happened to our guest today who at age 15 weighed over 300 lbs. And she didn't know who she was anymore. Today, Penelope Popken is 19 and she's overcome her addictive behavior. During this revealing interview, mother and daughter discuss what led to Penelope's struggles with weight, the drugs she took, the (mostly unhelpful) therapists' recommendations and more. They go over how most weight loss drugs (including Ozempic) and other quick fixes (like gastric bypass surgeries) have dire consequences. And they cover what it took to turn things around for Penelope. By the way, her healing path included not just returning to real nourishing food but addressing dysfunctional family patterns that contributed to unhealthy behavior.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Patrick: Hey doc. This question is for my mom. She's in her mid 70s and right now just about all her meals are processed food. Her breakfast and lunch are usually French toast sticks and waffles. She believes she's getting her nutrition from that because of the marketing and labels saying how much protein and vitamins are in them. Her dinners are about the same being a frozen dinner with a few vegetables in it . Can you just go over how it's all marketing and this isn't healthy at all. I look forward to your answer so I can listen to it with her. Thanks for all you do                                                                      Susan: Thanks for all you do. Love your podcasts. My question, you talk a lot about sauna/sweating/detox. I have a real intolerance for heat, It's been really noticeable the last few years. I was never much of a sweater even playing a lot of tennis. I'm more likely to overheat, turn all shades of color, but rarely do I actually drip sweat. On rare occasions, tolerate a infrared sauna, but I usually can't wait to get out of there. Years ago, I did a genetic test and there were indications that I don't detox well. Wonder if thats involved. Also, I have crohns and had a subtotal colectomy just over 6 years ago. It has definitely been worse the last 5 years for sure. I'm a 65 year old female. Can a sauna actually ever be not a good thing to do? Gut health may never be great.                                                                                                                                          Ann: Quick question, i realize I won't get the answer this time, but I'll be ready for the next time. When you have a virus, coughing, sinus, headaches...... is that a good time to start a 7 day detox? would the detox help get rid of the virus faster? And if so, is it wise to stop the protocol you are on at the time and just do the detox?                   Ann: In November while watching a play I felt a stinging sensation and pain and hotness and swelling on my right hand. I could see a small puncture hole and figured something bit me. I kept checking my throat to make sure it was nothing serious. I took a benedryl the next few nights then forgot about it. Months later I asked my dr to check it had an xray which showed a bone not attached to anything. Doesnt hurt but now its seems to be getting bigger. Its off to the right of my pinky knuckle. Is it possible that my body calcified the poison from the bite or turned into a bone? its crazy! What are your thoughts? leave it? remove it? wish i could insert the xray for you to see.  Thanks for listening, I always appreciate your advice.                                                                                                                                                                                             Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral- I've heard you mention various ways to use both the Universal Binder and the Daily Digestive Enzymes outside of a detox or specific protocols. Can you give us a list of other ways to use them and the dosing (for example how to use the Universal Binder if you think you ate something that isn't agreeing with you, or before a flex meal).

Why Are Americans So Unhealthy? Part I: Is Ultra-Processed Food Killing Us?

Americans die younger and faster than the residents of almost every other rich country. Why? There's gun violence, drug overdoses, and car crashes. Young people are much more likely to die from these accidents than those in other countries. Just as importantly, Americans are more likely to die from chronic illness, especially heart disease and metabolic diseases. We eat more and worse food. We're arguably exposed to more environmental toxins. We move around less, too. Kevin Klatt, a research scientist at UC Berkeley and a nutritionist, joins us in the first episode of our new miniseries on health. We take on the hottest topic in the diet world today: ultra-processed foods. If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.

In this illuminating episode we speak with Dr. Filippa Juul. An epidemiologist and leading researcher on the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on human health. Together, we unpack what ultra-processed really means, why it's not just about calories or macros, and how these foods are stealthily contributing to the global rise in obesity, chronic illness, and food addiction. Dr. Filippa Juul is a nutritional epidemiologist and Faculty Fellow at the Department of Public Health Policy and Management at the New York University School of Global Public Health (NYU GPH). She earned her PhD in Epidemiology from NYU GPH in 2020, following a MSc in Public Health Nutrition from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, and a BA in Nutrition and Dietetics from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in Spain. Dr. Juul's research focuses on improving cardiometabolic health outcomes at the population level, with a particular interest in the role of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in diet quality, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. She utilizes large U.S. population studies to examine these associations and is also exploring the biological mechanisms underlying the impact of UPFs on cardiometabolic health.  Dr. Juul explains the NOVA classification system, dives into recent groundbreaking studies, and offers insights into why UPFs are so difficult to resist—and what we can do about it, both individually and at the policy level.

What is water-based cooking and how can it aid your longevity? On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes, sits down with Nutrition Scientist and Registered Dietician, Dr. Michelle Davenport. Dr. Michelle Davenport specializes in improving metabolic health through her science-proven water-based cooking method. Her research studies the impact of Advance Glycation End Products, or AGEs, which are molecules formed when sugars non-enzymatically bind to proteins or lipids. Dr. Holmes and Dr. Davenport dive into the impact of AGEs on aging, chronic illness, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, and how water-based cooking might just be the key to slowing these effects.(00:35) Dr. Michelle Davenport's Water-Based Cooking(03:05) Metabolic Health And Food Culture in The United States(05:39) What is Water-Based Cooking?(06:49) Using Water-based Cooking As A Dietary Strategy(10:06) Dr. Davenport's Favorite Marinade To Try This Summer(10:47) What are AGEs and How Do They Accelerate Aging?(14:09) Benefits of Antioxidants and Anti-inflammatory Foods(16:33) Why Are Life Expectancies Decreasing In America?: Reason #1 Processed Food(19:24) Reason #2: Lacking Culture Around Food in The US(21:38) Reason #3: We Need To Understand The Basics(29:25) Michelle's Wake Up Call with Nutrition(33:04): What Are The Biomarkers For Damage Caused By AGEs?(35:08): AGEs: The Effects On Neurodegenerative Disease(38:58) What Can You Start Doing Today To Reduce AGEs?(42:12) Water-Quality in Water-Based Cooking(44:20) Dr. Davenport's Go To MealsFollow Dr. Michelle Davenport:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInSupport the showFollow WHOOP: www.whoop.com Trial WHOOP for Free Instagram TikTok YouTube X Facebook LinkedIn Follow Will Ahmed: Instagram X LinkedIn Follow Kristen Holmes: Instagram LinkedIn Follow Emily Capodilupo: LinkedIn

Today we're exploring the impact that ultra-processed foods have on our brain. We often think of nutrition in terms of physical health - things like obesity, heart disease, or diabetes. However, what we eat also plays a crucial role in our mental health, influencing mood, cognition, and even our risk for conditions like depression. So, what can we learn from the studies that have looked into the connection between food and thought? I'm joined by world-leading Professor of Nutritional Psychiatry Felice Jacka to explore this fascinating link and discuss how we can make smarter food choices to keep our minds sharp and healthy.

My guest is Dr. Christopher Gardner, Ph.D., professor of medicine and director of nutrition studies at Stanford. He is known for his pioneering research on the impact of dietary interventions on weight loss and health. We compare ketogenic, vegetarian, vegan and omnivorous diets—and why there is no one-size-fits-all approach. All agree, however, that eliminating or dramatically reducing processed foods is best for health. We discuss the protein needs controversy; plant vs. animal proteins; the importance of fiber and low-sugar fermented foods for gut health and inflammation; and how diet affects gene expression. We also review food allergies—including gluten, wheat, dairy and soy—as well as raw dairy. The episode offers data-supported advice for healthier eating.
