Doctor's List of Healthy Processed Foods | Dr. Neal Barnard
Are processed foods unhealthy? A new study suggests we're divided on how to answer that question. Dr. Neal Barnard of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is one of the authors of that study. He joins Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room to dive into the results -- and why it matters that Americans are so conflicted about which class of foods are healthy, and which will make you sick. Dr. Barnard will review the most purchased processed foods and identify which are the most and least healthy. He will also go over the results of a PCRM survey showing Americans' opinions on processed foods. Many are unaware that the majority of food that they're eating is ultra processed. But not all processed foods are created equally. 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. — — SHOW LINKS — — Processed Foods Survey https://bit.ly/procfoodsurvey — — — Gregory J.
