Ultra processed foods with Nutritionist Kerry Torrens
In this episode, we're thrilled to welcome back Kerry Torrens, Good Food’s Nutritionist, who joins host Samuel Goldsmith to explore the world of ultra-processed foods (UPFs). Kerry breaks down what UPFs are, the NOVA classification system, and how these foods affect our health. We dive deep into the pros and cons of UPFs, discussing whether all UPFs are bad and how they can fit into a balanced diet. Kerry explains how to identify UPFs on food labels, weighs up convenience versus health benefits, and offers tips for reducing UPF consumption without sacrificing convenience or nutrition. We also touch on the role of additives, their safety, and potential impacts on our health, particularly gut health. Kerry shares her personal food confession and favourite childhood comfort food, offering listeners a relatable and warm perspective on making healthier choices. Whether you're a busy professional, a parent on the go, or someone looking to make informed food choices, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how to navigate the world of UPFs and make the best dietary choices for your lifestyle.
