We have just growing body of evidence for that.

Are these additives really that bad? So to try to answer your question, are the chemicals and additives harmful? The real answer is we don't actually have adequate scientific evidence one way or another. And why don't we have adequate scientific evidence? Because we're not spending money to research it. So right now, the rules...

to this day, are that, you know, there's this concept called GRAS, general regard as safe, that food companies can develop new molecules that will preserve a food, make a food hyperpalatable, make it tastier, make it more shelf-stable, whatever, whatever they want to claim it does, that they can develop molecules

They can put these molecules into our food and they can get away with just saying, well, this is just generally regarded as safe without any adequate safety testing whatsoever. And the FDA allows that. Now, the new administration, RFK Jr., just recently said he's going to try to change that rule, and I welcome that change. I think that will be a phenomenal change.

So the reality is that testing hasn't been done on all of these molecules. There are tens of thousands of molecules, like new chemicals, new additives, things that sometimes aren't even on the label that are added to food And we really don't know for sure for each and every one of them whether this one is safe or not safe.

What we do know overall, and this unfortunately comes down to epidemiological studies where they just look at hundreds of thousands if not millions of people and they assess like how much ultra-processed food Is this person eating? And is that associated?

If we look at large populations of people and we stratify them by these people are eating mostly ultra-processed foods and these people are hardly eating any. Are there differences in their health outcomes? And the answer to that is unequivocal. And it is perfectly clear. The more ultra-processed foods you eat, the worse your physical and mental health. Both. It's cardiovascular disease.
