A new proposition from nutrition researchers.
Why Ultra-Processed Foods Are So Addictive & How We Can Eat Less Of Them Ultra-processed foods are as addictive as certain drugs—and it's time to call out the dangers they pose to public health. That's the strong stance that scientists and physicians took in an in-depth analysis recently published in the British Medical Journal .
“This is the rationale behind substitution therapies and why a cigarette, which rapidly delivers nicotine to the brain, is more addictive than a slow-release nicotine transdermal patch,” the analysis authors explain. 'This isn't a mere analogy; it's an acknowledgment of the real, tangible impact these foods can have on our neurobiology,” Vinjamoori says. He notes that we have more than enough compelling evidence on the health risks of ultra-processed foods to warrant major change.
