The book "Ultra Processed People" had its drawbacks, notably in its treatment of the weight gain associated with an ultra-processed diet. While it correctly identified that individuals tend to consume more calories under such diets, even when the macronutrient profiles are similar, it overlooked the broader implications of caloric intake versus food type. Additionally, the author's dismissive attitude towards those who read nutrition labels was off-putting. However, the book did excel in its clear categorization of food into four tiers: unprocessed, minimally processed, processed, and ultra-processed. The criteria defining ultra-processed foods and the arguments for avoiding them were well-articulated and logical.
