And that is because the study didn't determine exactly why that was true. That work is going on now, but it clearly has to do with the way this food has been engineered. that it is engineered to be irresistible, addictive in various ways, but also that it's also engineered to be very quickly absorbed in the body.

And that leads, I mean, you know this as a doctor, that leads to quick insulin spikes and that terrible cycle that gets started. So, um, ultra processed food, I think is, yeah, it's, it's a scourge and, um, other countries are, are starting to deal with it. Um, unfortunately we haven't yet.

Um, you know, if you go to Latin America or South America, um, where these food companies don't exert as much domestic power, um, you will find some powerful labels. I mean, skulls and crossbones and stop signs and, uh, You know, it's it's pretty intense if you go to Mexico or Chile or or Brazil.

But so far, you know, there's I mean, Biden was supposed to announce front of package labeling of some kind. Hasn't happened yet, I don't think. But let's hope and let's hope it doesn't get diluted by the industry.
