The problem I have with studies reporting health effects of UPF can be seen in this paper by Rauber et al. is lack of objectivity in defining which foods are actually UPF! Here are 2 food labels of ingredients, one in this study is UPF & other is not!🤷

@ktibus @ggkuhnle I believe that applies to most foods and drinks, e.g. if bread is cheap its apparently bad but if artisan its great etc even though the later is likely to contain far more salt

@ggkuhnle Nah, just more processing likely to be producing numerous unknown compounds containing stuff which may be associated with something in a tangental piece of epidemiology or an obscure animal feeding study

@ggkuhnle To be fair I’m not going to prep everything from scratch on Christmas Day either. Will make most in advance (from scratch) as too busy on the day itself doing @parkrun & then church 😉

Yes call for his resignation, but perhaps the problem is the institution which cannot remove individuals known to be abusers. How can a church (or any public serving organisation) always not protect the most vulnerable? 🤬

Hey @CrossCountryUK your app suggests the 07:57 Hinckley to Leicester could be a Schrödinger’s train. Both being cancelled & running late. Please update your app to reduce confusion.

@suziecreamchee4 @MaritKolby Then need an approach that can be quantified to allow for effective communication and potentially regulation. We can do better with this, HFSS and UPF both have limitations, we can use data better to improve definitions and health
