The book sheds light on the sinister transformation of our food supply, exposing how 62% of the food in our supermarkets is not only processed but 'ultra-processed'. These products often contain ingredients from other foods combined to create something new, frequently in colours that do not exist in nature, and over time, they can severely impact our health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the success of his \u003ci\u003eNY Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eFat Chance\u003c\/i\u003e, which uncovered the perils of sugar, Dr Lustig uncovers a broader, more pervasive threat in \u003ci\u003eMetabolical\u003c\/i\u003e. He compellingly argues that our predilection for processed foods, encouraged by the food industry, agricultural giants, pharmaceutical companies, institutional medicine, and government policies, is at the heart of the dramatic rise in major non-communicable diseases. These include diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver disease, cancer, and dementia. We often mistakenly believe that these chronic illnesses are an inevitable part of the natural ageing process, but Dr Lustig reveals otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will discover that the solution lies in a return to unprocessed foods.
