  • This is everything you need to know about processed food. Which ones are healthy? Which ones are bad for you? Find out as leading nutrition researcher and author Dr. Neal Barnard joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast. - In This Interview - Definition of Processed Foods: Dr. Barnard explains the difference between processed food and ultra-processed foods. Health Factors: The conversation highlights that while processed foods are often associated with diabetes and heart disease, not all processed foods are equally harmful. For instance, some processed cereals may have preventive health effects compared to unprocessed meats, which can increase the risk of diabetes. Processed Foods and Immune System: Dr. Barnard explores whether a heavily processed diet can weaken the immune system and make you more vulnerable to viruses. Processed Foods and Life Expectancy: Chuck and Dr. Barnard hypothesize about the potential negative impact that eating a highly processed diet can have on life expectancy. Can these foods rob years from your life? Sodium and Dairy: The discussion touches on the dangers of added sodium in processed foods and the health implications of dairy consumption. Practical Tips: Dr. Barnard offers practical advice for incorporating healthier foods into your diet, such as stocking up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to encourage healthier eating habits. Chuck also has details on a study tracking the outrageous number of advertisements for unhealthy food that are shown during football games. This episode is sponsored by The Gregory J. Reiter Memorial Fund, which supports organizations like the Physicians Committee that carry on Greg’s passion and love for animals through rescue efforts, veganism, and wildlife conservation. — — BOOKS — — The Power Foods Diet: https://amzn.to/3GmCxUj — — SHOW LINKS — — Football Advertisement Study https://bit.ly/FootballFoodStudy — — — Gregory J.
