Everything in moderation sounds reasonable. Right?

But when it comes to ultra-processed food, research tells a different story.

A 2023 meta-analysis in The BMJ linked ultra-processed foods with a higher risk of cancer, heart disease, depression, and early death – even at modest intake levels.

These foods aren't just empty calories – they’re biologically disruptive. Even small amounts can...

• Spike blood sugar

• Trigger cravings via dopamine circuits

• Disrupt your gut microbiome

• Promote inflammation

• Impair mitochondrial function

• Confuse satiety signals

In short, they’re engineered to override your body’s natural wisdom.

So not everything deserves moderation. By avoiding processed foods, you’re protecting your cells, your hormones, your mind.
