Dr Hilary Jones has sounded the alarm on eating ultra-processed foods, urging the public to cut back on these products for the sake of their future health.The regular TV doctor, featured on programmes such as Good Morning Britain and Lorraine, is advocating for Brits to minimise their intake of UPFs right away to benefit long-term wellness.Research by Gousto has found that a staggering 60 percent of British people are oblivious to the detrimental lasting effects these foods can have.

By 2055, the overindulgence in UPFs combined with a deficit in fresh, nutritious food could lead to an escalation of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and intra-abdominal fat, along with increased levels of anxiety and depression."There's a lot of momentum building now after several decades of us relying more on ultra processed foods, and I think it's becoming clearer and clearer with every bit of evidence that's published," Dr Hilary shared with OK!"We now know that the average person is consuming 60% of their calories from ultra-processed foods.

I think people are thinking, wow, that's far too much, and, of course, it coincides with obesity rates and all the things that come with obesity, like heart disease and diabetes."Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) might be alluring due to their convenience and taste, but it's crucial we understand the potential long-term effects on our health.
