More recently, however, there have been growing concerns that some of these foods are highly processed products with compositions and structures that are contributing to adverse health effects, such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and mental health issues. There are therefore calls to reduce or eliminate these so-called “ultra-processed foods” (UPFs) from our diets.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThis book reviews the history of UPFs, highlights how they are formulated and manufactured, evaluates their potential adverse health effects, and outlines strategies to improve the healthiness of the modern food supply. These strategies include reformulating UPFs to enhance their health profiles, as well as encouraging changes in government, industry, and consumer practices. The information presented will be useful for those who are trying to create a healthier food supply, as well as to those who simply want to improve their health by making more rational food choices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eDavid Julian McClements is a Distinguished Professor in food science who has employed physics, chemistry, and biology to improve the quality, safety, and healthiness of foods for over 30 years.
