Navigating Ultra Processed Foods in Moderation - Video

Can you be healthy if you enjoy your favorite ultra processed foods in moderation? Yes!

I think a fair interpretation of the current scientific evidence is that, if you’re meeting your body’s nutritional needs from the 80 percent of your diet that is whole and minimally-processed foods, the 20 percent of your calories that comes from ultra-processed foods is unlikely to cause any harm. Some people refer to this as the 80/20 rule.

What would that look like? If you eat a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that would translate to 400 calories from your favorite packaged or fast food, about what you’d get in a quarter pounder with cheese, seven Oreo cookies (five and a half, if Double Stuf), one slice of pepperoni pizza, or a medium glazed donut plus a can of Coke.
