About this listen

This podcast examines the tactics used by the ultra-processed food (UPF) industry to influence public opinion and policy, drawing parallels to the tobacco industry's past strategies. It highlights how multinational food corporations exert control through funding research, lobbying, and holding significant board seats in global food governance organizations. There is a critique of specific arguments presented in industry-backed lectures that attempt to downplay the health risks of UPFs and discredit established classification systems like NOVA. Ultimately, the article advocates for critical evaluation of information and independent research to counter corporate influence and promote healthier food systems.Source: https://foodmedcenter.org/study-spotlight-take-away-with-chef-dr-mike-upfs-the-art-of-deception/
