Title: Understanding Ultra-Processed Foods: What You Need to Know

This engaging presentation asks the audience what they ate today, and then the answers are classified by NOVA classifications. The pros and cons of ultra-processed foods are discussed. The food manufacturers own all the pros, while consumer health takes the cons!

But consumers don't eat categories. They eat food! This show helps them understand how to navigate all the food choices and end up with a more whole-food-based, nutritious diet. While Nova helps us understand classifications according to processing, it can't always determine a healthy diet.
