Hello there, friend. Life gets busy, and finding time to think about food can be hard. Let us look at a new study together in a kind and gentle way.

What's new

One new study by UCL and Imperial College London researchers looked at blood and food. They found two distinct patterns of molecules in the blood. One pattern is linked to an ultra-processed diet. The other pattern is linked to a minimally processed diet. These blood signatures may explain roughly half of ultra-processed diets' links to heart disease and diabetes.

What it means for you

Please remember that one new study does not prove cause and effect. Science is just learning how our bodies work. You do not need to worry or feel stressed about your meals today.

One small thing to try

Take a gentle breath and notice one small meal choice that feels good for you today.
