You’re being lied to about “ultra-processed” foods
Coverage of the latest nutrition buzzword is overly broad, arbitrary, and misleading. The problem goes deeper.

So look. I've given about 20 talks where I highlight clinical research waste, and I now always ask the audience if they recognize that figure below. The answer is *always* the same - overwhelmingly No. If *you* recognize it, because you are here and informed, you must help spread the word. Please.
Looking forward to speaking at the NCTO (ncto.ie) end of year event later today. Thanks to @robertoconnor.bsky.social for the opportunity to have my say.

Right, a randomized, crossover study, showing no benefits on arterial stiffness/blood flow. Note the colossal difference in media attention.
In the media, sensational studies > robust ones.
