@MedCrisis @KevinH_PhD Hi Rohin, I noticed you acknowledged the importance of ultra-processed food but raised some concerns about its definition. Here we present a conceptual and operational definition of UPF. https://t.co/s9PZyLyoNs

Det finnes faktisk en slags definisjon på ultraprosessert mat, norske medier er tydeligvis bare allergisk mot å bruke den? Kanskje fordi den innebærer at tilfeldige mat-influencere sine vibes-baserte råd ikke stemmer pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30744710/

GLP-1 inhibitors work, but at a cost. We’ve built an obesogenic civilisation that surrounds people with ultra-processed food, sedentary lives, and stress. Now we need injections to resist what the system itself has created. 2/6 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30744710/

But it's unfortunately much more complicated, and easy answers usually rely on simplifications that miss important aspects. #UPF is a very ambiguous definition: Monteiro - who introduced the concept - stated this: https://t.co/UpW4XgGvLZ https://t.co/cY2RdRsWPC

Fake Science Alert! In the NOVA schema, ‘Ultra-Processed Food’ is a concoction made by ultra-processing some food in a factory. Sometimes they blend in valorized industrial waste. This is what passes for definition in an intramural NIH lab. Sad. DOI 10.1017/S1368980018003762 https://t.co/C73jLxyinb

Ultraprossert mat er ikke mat, men en saus av kunstige giftstoffer som skaper ubalanse og fedme. Den svekker også tarmsystemet som er årsaken til økt risiko for kreft i tarmen. #kreft https://t.co/I1jPsRUwbc

@Pl4ntbased I think what's below is stating my 6 tablespoons of vital wheat gluten are considered a UPF, because it's hard to imagine it's saying a food is a UPF for containing vital wheat gluten if it's not saying vital wheat gluten itself is a UPF. That's confusing. https://t.co/JQwEJmqSd2 https://t.co/YULYI4zsqN

I'd be grateful for any suggestions for material to read on food politics in the US a century back. I'm mainly interested in the cultural studies question of why this made sense to people. Here are references for a couple of Monteiro et al. articles. Quotes above are from the 2019 one. (11/11)

% weight comparison of NOVA1-3 vs UPF foods is sensible as a defining characteristic of UPF foods is water removal. But NOVA1-3 vs UPFs drinks should be a separate comparison & alcoholic drinks separate again, as NOVA definitions supplementary info suggest https://t.co/bEaEPbCpUR

@RoadsideMum @HelenJKnott It's always nice to see how people compensate their lack of knowledge. But if you are really concerned about UPF, you should read the actual papers - not second hand reports. https://t.co/UpW4XgGvLZ

@ggkuhnle @StreetSmartRD @gourmetmetrics Interesting UNICEF lists preservatives as an UPF substance whereas NOVA does not. https://t.co/bEaEPbCpUR https://t.co/eg90YlMHKo

@ScottAdamsSays It's not really about "processed" foods because most foods are processed to some degree. It's about "ULTRA-processed" (caps used to add emphasis). This article defines processing and "ultra-processed" and how to distinguish between them. https://t.co/tZQEc7Himh

@Botanygeek Your post implies a lack of understanding of the NOVA classification system. https://t.co/goMOxfgkJH

@Botanygeek >5 ingredients is not a criteria for ultra-processed according to FAO's 2019 definition (below) https://t.co/QhfrZYemeH & Monteiro's later paper: https://t.co/Lcq0Z8qyWC 1/2 https://t.co/ydQTZYFMrB

@Botanygeek That's not the criteria. Ultra processed foods contain ingredients that you wouldn’t add when cooking homemade food. https://t.co/XXggqMc8vK

https://t.co/BIGvDmA7rP https://t.co/JOLNd0YTgT

@ScepticalDoctor It's that, but also that is has to be a "formulation of ingredients" that's very low in or devoid of whole foods. It's also characterised by additives that have the function of increasing palatability (as opposed to preservation). https://t.co/C3kF5ljOGw

@ScepticalDoctor This is misclassification. The _additives_ that put foods in group 4 are: flavours, flavour enhancers, colours, emulsifiers, emulsifying salts, sweeteners, thickeners, and anti-foaming, bulking, carbonating, foaming, gelling and glazing agents. https://t.co/OR18runvIv

@Alsoldebiel @Rob_Percival_ NOVA is the name of a food classification system. It is a name, not an acronym. https://t.co/MEInU7Kftu

@JacobGudiol @ggkuhnle "Identifying ultra-processed foods" is discussed by Monteira et al. here. Presence of "cosmetic additives" etc. https://t.co/0FgocgnTEL

@Freewheal @grimbletweets @Rob_Percival_ I'm afraid you will have to expand on that - it looks pretty clear to me from Monteiro's papers (Doi:10.1017/s1368980018003762) that simply adding sugar makes products NOVA 3: https://t.co/dB47skNeGv

@MedCrisis @KevinH_PhD Hi Rohin, I noticed you acknowledged the importance of ultra-processed food but raised some concerns about its definition. Here we present a conceptual and operational definition of UPF. https://t.co/s9PZyLyoNs

@IncitatusAlpha @MatthewJDalby Ultra-processed food (UPF) *IS* defined and incidentally the definition arose from researchers because there was previously no suitable definition in the literature of foods that had undergone multiple processing steps. 1/ thread https://t.co/bEaEPbkgGJ

@MedCrisis I think you'd need to explore why processing is bad. The term it self seems to defy definition. Is it something intrinsic, or the fact that processing and palatability are often synonymous, and it could really all just come down to intake. https://t.co/kbUFN58TMr

@BuildUpRDNs I think a big problem is ~1/2 of RDs refer to “processed foods” as all levels of processing and 1/2 are referring to just ultra-processed foods. I wish we all could use a system like NOVA so we were all on the same page: https://t.co/jQEjKMUVT7

@sTeamTraen @JohnSpeakman4 @angryhacademic @MatthewJDalby @KevinH_PhD also note, the study was on 'ultra-processed' diet not 'processed'. Nearly all food is processed and using that term for that study is not correct. You can read more on the NOVA classification here https://t.co/3YzoKwFTZl 4/

@ggkuhnle @rethinkingMD I keep noticing a tendency to think ultraprocessing can defined by personal preference. It's a framework, in which the groups are defined by the extent and purpose of the processing. A good place to start: https://t.co/5aFaKb5Qwc

But it's unfortunately much more complicated, and easy answers usually rely on simplifications that miss important aspects. #UPF is a very ambiguous definition: Monteiro - who introduced the concept - stated this: https://t.co/UpW4XgGvLZ https://t.co/cY2RdRsWPC

Traits of #Ultraprocessedfoods: Broken down by industrial processes, multiple ingredients not found in kitchens, low in essential nutrients, high in added salt, sugar, and fats. https://t.co/YRZfhZSA2X Meg can identify these foods and help you make healthier choices! https://t.co/5YTx5buoFq

Defining ultra-processed food isn't easy but we have to try. In the below classification chocolate is e.g. u-processed even though there are healthy low sugar variants. Also there is a bit of conflation between "tasty" and u-processed. https://t.co/b4UzckGBsp

@nickjlo @rachellaudan It’s not “processed” food per se, but rather ultra-processed foods and their dominance in the food supply network that is of concern. https://t.co/OpuHqQ5hnY
