The Impact of Modern Diet on Health
Modern diets have shifted from whole, unprocessed foods to predominantly ultra-processed foods, causing significant health issues. Over the past century, the percentage of ultra-processed foods in our diet has surged dramatically, leading to a state where our bodies struggle to understand and utilize these Franken-foods. This drastic dietary change results in a breakdown of communication between the nutrients we consume and our biology, exacerbating chronic diseases. Additionally, even the whole foods we do consume are often nutrient-depleted due to industrial agriculture practices, further diminishing their potential health benefits.
