And there are some degrees within that, right?
Like there are some foods that the original structure of the ingredients are so different, so removed from how they started.
Like take a lot of breakfast cereals.
They look nothing molecularly like the original grain from which they started.
That's probably the most extreme end of ultra-processing.
But then there's a lot of stuff that's in the gray zone, that's in the in-between, like pasta sauce.
That's tomatoes.
Maybe they've thrown in some seasoning, some onions, and maybe some emulsifiers or preservatives.
That's still ultra-processed, but you could probably name most, though not all, ingredients on that list.
And so what I tell people to do is...
really not necessarily always to cut everything out all the time, because I think if I said that to people, they would just give up early and they wouldn't listen.
And what I want to do is try to do something that's realistic.
But I would say try to make these small swaps.
Like, for example...
pick something where there's at least most of the ingredients are things that you can get in your kitchen and maybe there's no more than five chemicals you can't pronounce.
If that's the case, it's probably closer to being more of a real and whole food than something where most of the ingredients are words you cannot pronounce because that means it has more emulsifiers and more chemicals.
And the reason I keep bringing...
get back to that is that we've done these studies over the last 10 years that show that it is those chemicals and emulsifiers that contribute to microscopic levels of inflammation in the gut, that they change the microbiome.
And we've done those studies on a molecular level.
If you look at a population, people who tend to eat more ultra-processed foods have worse symptoms of IBS.
