Episode Synopsis
🎙️ EP#204 | DSD | Unpacking Ultra-Processed Foods:
In this episode, we explore the complex world of ultra-processed foods and their impact on health. Dr. Casey Means highlights the dangers of these foods, which are often composed of ultra-processed flour, added sugars, and seed oils—ingredients that were not part of our diets 150 years ago. The host passionately underscores the importance of moving away from these foods, advocating for a return to organic, unprocessed alternatives, ideally sourced from local farmers' markets.
The conversation then shifts to the significance of home-cooked meals. Drawing from personal experiences over the Labor Day weekend, the host reflects on how cooking at home fosters better health and strengthens family bonds. Despite acknowledging dining out's convenience and social aspects, the episode stresses that preparing meals at home should be prioritized. However, the host also touches on the skepticism surrounding organic certifications, based on personal insights from the Boost Liquid Vitamins certification process, questioning the authenticity of some "organic" labels.
As the episode concludes, the host discusses the accessibility and affordability of organic and grass-fed foods, especially in today's economic climate. The host emphasizes that while these healthier options may be ideal, they aren't always feasible for everyone. Instead, listeners are encouraged to make informed food choices within their means, starting with better understanding nutrition labels and aiming to cook at home more often, even if perfection isn't always attainable.
