The debate over ultra-processed foods is "absolutely" overblown and "ridiculous," epidemiologist Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz said.
"Most of what we measure when we talk about ultra-processed food is not the processing steps. It's not the number of steps it takes to go from field to plate," he told PBS News' @GeoffRBennett. "Instead, we measure sort of these vague concepts of how many ingredients a food has, how many things that you don't keep in your kitchen. But that's not what processing is."
"What we call ultra-processed foods today are mostly what my mum would refer to as 'junk food' in the ’90s," he later added.
Meyerowitz-Katz, creator of the "Health Nerd" blog, spoke to Geoff Bennett for PBS News' podcast, "Settle In." to.pbs.org/3MydeVQ

Why are wine grapes grown in certain regions? Climate, geography and soil each play a part and affect the flavor. But don't forget about demand! Thanks to strong local wine consumption and favorable growing conditions, wine grapes are a viable crop for Maryland farmers like Jennie Schmidt. #WomenFarmers #FarmFacts #WineDYK @FarmGirlJen

Plants can't just "grow" - they have to fight for it. Sunlight, water, nutrients - pests want them, too. Meet the wine grape farmer AND dietitian who explains why protecting her vines is the only way to help them turn sunshine into a glass of wine worth drinking. 🍷☀️ #WomenFarmers #FarmFacts #WineDYK
Drone spraying the vineyard for downy mildew. Think it does a good job with a canopy spray. Not convinced it would get good coverage on the fruit zone.

Low-carb vs low-fat, settled by a 12-month trial.
🔷One of the largest head-to-head studies
🔷Randomised controlled trial
🔷609 adults
🔷Real food on both sides
🔷Excellent methodology
🔷Both sides sure the other would fail!
Result?
We learnt a lot ... and upset everyone! 🧵
