WDFS Live! Ultra Processed Foods: What Are They? What Should You Know About Them? (S7E3)
This episode is a recording of our second WDFS Live event. Our guest, Dr. Sarah Ash, Professor Emeritus in Nutrition at NC State University, and Adam Yee, entrepreneur many times over in the food industry, join us to discuss ultra processed foods. What are they? What should you know about them? Some definitions focus on the types or number of ingredients. Few definitions get to the actual process of how foods are made. This interactive presentation and discussion will feature speakers providing their definitions of what ultra processed foods are and talk about the pros, cons, and unknowns surrounding the presence of ultra processed foods in our diets. During the presentation and discussion, we will take questions from the audience. Our goal is a rich discussion that gets to the science behind the health, sustainability, and economic aspects of foods we eat every day.
