Résumé
New York Times Bestseller Longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize Shortlisted for the Waterstones Book of the Year “A fearless investigation into how we have become hooked.” ―Financial Times A manifesto to change how you eat and how you think about the human body.It’s not you, it’s the food.We have entered a new age of eating. For the first time in human history, most of our calories come from an entirely novel set of substances called Ultra-Processed Food.

While his body became the subject of scientific scrutiny, he spoke to the world’s leading experts from academia, agriculture, and―most important―the food industry itself. But more than teaching him about the experience of the food, the diet switched off Chris’s own addiction to UPF.In a fast-paced and eye-opening narrative he explo
