But that's just one part of the story.

So we took really separate categories.

So what we did at Zoe was we looked at those additives.

But we only included additives we worried about that had been associated with some health problem.

Because some additives are like vitamin C, right?

So you're not going to say, I'm not going to eat that because it's got

vitamin C in it, um, or iron or something else like that.

So, um, that was one category.

Uh, the second was, um, something called hyper palatability, whether it's, has it been designed by the food companies to make you, uh,

Keep eating it and never get full, right?

This is this so-called bliss point in the brain that the scientists in these companies are really brilliant at.

And we all know that feeling where it's a big bag of Doritos or Pringles or whatever it is.

They've got exactly that formula that is that combination of the sugar, the salt, the fat that just makes you keep eating and overrides those signals.

So you just stuff your face.

You're not really getting the normal signals that you should be.

So hyperpalatability is the second thing that we measure.

about 70% of these foods have that particular quality.

And it's good to have that warning about it.

Then you've got things like the texture of the food.

So we know that food companies deliberately make food softer and faster to eat.
