You've got artificial sweeteners which disrupt your gut microbes and make them send off really weird signals, increasing your risk of diabetes. And these other ones that may potentially lead to cancers. And I just think we've been far too soft on the companies doing this.

And it's good to see it start finally being mentioned in the US because we've been talking about it in the UK really for at least five years now. And it's interesting it took a political campaign to start the discussion. But we need to get much more wary about all these things, but also not get rid of every single processing of food because they're not all harmful.

And that's one reason we've come up with this tool But I think from May, people in the US will be able to use in a beta version. They can download. And I think we'd love to see how your listeners get on with that when they go to a store and they can actually get these five grades of processing and in terms of risk.

So, you know, they look at an aisle, they can see different breads, and you should have the full range. They all look the same because they make the most terrible claims. They all say they're healthy, they're full of vitamins, they're packed with protein, you know, all this nonsense.

But actually, they can be really different in terms of the ingredients and how they affect you, your overall health and your gut health. And also... The other factor that hasn't been featured before about these foods is they're constructed to make you overeat them, the so-called hyperpalatability.

And so that's another feature we've put in there, as well as how quickly it dissolves in your mouth so you don't even notice you're eating it in front of the TV.
