    It was a study within Australia, like among Aussies upfs apparently lead to an increase in CVD. I looked at there definition of upf though and was baffled as to how it could be useful given it covered everything from inverted sugar with red 5 and soybean oil to ground TVP, seitan and spices held together with plant gum.

    Generally it’s my impression that nutrition science is a bit garbage. To be fair it’s extremely difficult to study. Nonetheless it’s prone to fads and shall we say statistical massaging.

    I just really struggle to believe that your average person should spend much time freaking out over upfs vs adding some cardio and eating a bowl of oats once a day or something.
