@drnealbarnard.pcrm.org says the label “ultra-processed foods” may mislead us. Some plant-based items may actually lower diabetes risk.
"To physicians, broad UPF bans may raise potential red flags."
While policymakers have cast ultra-processed foods (UPFs) as dietary villains, the issue may be more nuanced, according to @drnealbarnard.pcrm.org, president of @pcrm.org.
