@ellenfallows @StuartGillesp16 @TheQuadram I agree, but much of the evidence is observational. UPFs cover a broad range of foods with varying nutrient composition and structure, so more robust evidence is required to segregate different food types

[Pete Wilde @pete_wilde]

@ThomastheFlint @StuartGillesp16 @BANTonline @PHCukorg @Diabetescouk I totally agree

[Pete Wilde @pete_wilde]

@StuartGillesp16 Therefore we need to assess dietary impact on nutritional quality of foods, not just on whether they have been processed or not. There is a lot of research identifying why some UPFs are harmful, and this should inform more accurate and informed nutritional advice.

[Pete Wilde @pete_wilde]

@StuartGillesp16 We know that diets high in UPFs are harmful, and we need to do more to stop the food industry marketing harmful foods. However, the definition of UPFs does not account for nutrient content, and some foods classified as UPFs could be healthier than others.

[Pete Wilde @pete_wilde]

@StuartGillesp16 Thanks, yes I am aware of these arguments, and I do appreciate that these conflicts can cause serious issues. However, we just want an open debate about this issue.

[Pete Wilde @pete_wilde]

@StuartGillesp16 Thanks. Have you a link to the article? The vast majority of my own research is not industry funded,and does not involve human studies, but rather generic, mechanistic research to understand why the matrix of foods can have positive or negative impacts on health.

[Pete Wilde @pete_wilde]

@aistronach All the best Andrew, hope you’re feeling better soon.

[Gunter Kuhnle @ggkuhnle]

I completely agree with @pete_wilde. The NOVA definition is not based on current scientific understanding and not helpful to understand the impact of food on health.

Engaging in a constructive discussion would be much better to improve the food system.
