Why Whole Foods Are Better Than Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF)


(Disclaimer: UPF and any food high in fat or salt should not be consumed in large quantities.)

They have a lid or are labelled SHARE pack for a reason

In Asia a type of torture!

Is to feed people dehydrated rice

Then force them to consume

large amounts of water.

Rehydrating

the rice

within

the digestive system.

UPF the hidden issue?

Dehydration

If you eat a large packet of crisp 150g

Is there still room for one more bag of crisps 32.5g – 40g?


Can you eat a whole tube of ultra-processed potato plus…. 185g?

Do you feel there is still room for one more bag of crisps 32.5g – 40g?

(Remember to wait after eating – Before You have more!!!)


The weight of the food you have consumed

is about the same:

UPF mixed Dehydrated 185g:

Ingredients: Dehydrated potatoes, Sunflower oil, Wheat flour, Corn flour, Rice flour, Maltodextrin, Emulsifier (E471), Salt, Colour (Annatto norbixin)

~

General pack of crisps: 182.5g:

Ingredients- Potatoes, vegetable oil, salt, sugar and various other ingredients depending on the flavour and Brand of crisp.

The average potato:

Is around 150g-200g

I.e. A standard single-jacket potato.

A cooked cup of rice:

Is around 250g

I.e. A single serving of rice.

Do you feel there is still room for one more bag of crisps 32.5g – 40g?

WHY?

UPF’s are partly processed before being reformed into a convenient

Quick-to-consume product.

~

Partly mimics the digestive process and removes moisture to prolong shelf life.

~

No matter what you add or in what quantities

You cannot replace whole food.

~

The body’s natural digestion process will always remain irreplaceable.


Experiment

Take 100g of dried soya beans and add 200 ml of water?


We can’t forget that using more energy in processing and preparing our food significantly impacts the environment.

A simple chew!!!
