Debunking Myths: Ultra-Processed Foods and Nutrition MisinformationIn this episode of the Unfiltered Wellness podcast, Amanda Mittman and Mackenzie Woolwich discuss the controversial topics of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and food dyes. They break down the definition of UPFs, challenge common misconceptions, and explain why these foods have a place in a balanced, realistic diet. As weight-inclusive registered dietitians and advocates of the anti-diet movement, they emphasize the importance of challenging diet culture and question recent media and political movements pushing for the elimination of UPFs. They also call attention to the dangers of fear-mongering in nutrition advice, especially when spread by social media influencers without scientific backing. The hosts encourage listeners to focus on individual needs, debunk myths related to 'healthy eating,' and navigate the confusion with professional advice.
