He trained at Oxford and has a PhD in molecular virology from University College London where he is an Associate Professor.

As one of the BBCs leading broadcasters for children and adults his work has won two BAFTAs. He lives in London with his wife and two children. Review A brilliant book . . . a real eye-opener. The bottom line is that if we keep consuming sugar, salt and fat on the scale that we currently do, it is going to cost all of us an unconscionable fortune in the future. -- James OBrienYouve got to get this book in your life . . . Completely compelling . . . Read a page and think about it for the rest of the week -- Chris EvansA devastating, witty and scholarly destruction of the shit food we eat and why -- Adam RutherfordIf you only read one diet or nutrition book in your life, make it this one. It will not only change the way you eat but the way you think about food. And it does all this without a hint of finger-wagging or body shaming. I came away feeling so much better informed about every aspect of ultra-processed food, from the way it affects the microbes in our gut to why it is so profitable to produce to why its so hard to eat only a single bowl of Coco Pops to why any food that is marketed as better for you is almost certainly not. -- Bee WilsonA wonderful and fascinating exposé of ultra-processed food, edible substances with strange sounding ingredients which are manufactured by some of the wealthiest companies on the planet and which, worryingly, form an increasing part of our diet. As Chris shows, not only have these foods been formulated to ensure that we eat them constantly and without thought, but they hijack our ability to regulate what we eat, primarily by affecting our brains. And he backs up his claims with a powerful self-experiment, along with lots of rigorous and often shocking research. Reading this book will make you question what you eat and how it was produced -- Dr. Michael Mosley * BBC presenter and bestselling author of The Fast Diet * Details ISBN1529160227 Author Chris van Tulleken Publisher Cornerstone Year 2024 ISBN-13 9781529160222 Format Paperback Imprint Penguin Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2024-01-04 NZ Release Date 2024-01-04 ISBN-10 1529160227 Subtitle Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isnt Food … and Why Cant We Stop?
