Chemical exposure from ultra-#ProcessedFoods may contribute to health issues

Shannon Kelleher, May 16, 2025

"Toxic synthetic chemicals that migrate into ultra-processed foods from packaging, processing equipment and other sources may explain why these foods are so bad for our health, according to a new review article.

"In addition to the foods’ poor nutritional value, these chemicals represent an 'underappreciated and understudied' explanation for the link between ultra-processed foods and health problems such as obesity and other chronic diseases, the authors conclude in the article, published Friday in the journal Nature Medicine.

" 'The more (ultra-)processed a foodstuff, the greater its burden of synthetic chemicals generally is,; the authors wrote.

"Ultra-processed foods such as #candies, #HotDogs and #PackagedSoups are industrially made and contain many added ingredients not found in home kitchens, such as #stabilizers and added colors and flavors.

"Thousands of harmful substances including #bisphenols (such as #BPA), #phthalates, #microplastics (tiny plastic particles) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS) can leach into industrially produced foods during production, as well as from containers in which the foods are stored and while heating them up before they are eaten, according to the article. Emerging research suggests that even the 'normal and intended use' of plastic materials that come into contact with foods along their journey to our plates can contaminate these products, the authors wrote.

"Research increasingly shows that some of the same synthetic chemicals found in ultra-processed foods, as well as drinking water and other sources, are prevalent in our bodies. About 98% of the US population has PFAS in their blood, while microplastics and even smaller plastic particles (nanoplastics) accumulate in 'just about every portion of your body…no organ is spared, really,' Dr. Sanjay Rajagopalan, director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute at Case Western Reserve University, said during a May 15 webinar hosted by the group Beyond Plastics. Plastic particles have been found in everything from the placenta to the brain, lungs and heart, he said.

"In a 2024 study, Rajagopalan and colleagues found a link between microplastics in the arteries and risks for heart attacks and strokes.

" 'The particles looked quite nasty,' he said. 'They were jagged particles with sharp edges, very similar to cholesterol.' "

Competitive eating legend Takeru Kobayashi has shared how his career has damaged his health

InstagramWASTED on Instagram: "Takeru Kobayashi, the Japanese eating legend who won six consecutive Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contests, is stepping down from all future food challenges as he no longer has the hunger to compete. The 46-year-old announced his retirement in the new Netflix documentary “Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut” after doctors discovered his brain had become repelled by highly processed foods. “For the past 20 years, I have been in this field,” he stated. “I worry about the consequences of my decision, but most importantly, I want to repair my brain and gut.” Kobayashi's competitive eating career began in 2000 when he appeared on a Japanese reality show, consuming 60 plates of sushi, 2.7 kg of potatoes, and 16 bowls of ramen in one sitting. Over two decades, his enormous appetite earned him worldwide fame and an income of up to $650,000 per year. In recent years, however, Kobayashi’s appetite has waned, and he now never feels hunger. He once went three days without eating. “When you eat too much, you lose the ability to smell the food, and you also ignore signals from your body, such as feeling full,” he explained in the documentary. Doctors analyzed brain scans and found that when Kobayashi sees food, all areas of his brain related to nausea are activated. Now, Kobayashi is focusing on eating more nutritious foods in smaller portions to rewire his brain. “I want to live a healthy and long life, so I’ve decided to quit competitive eating contests,” he declared."28K likes, 242 comments - wasted on May 22, 2024: "Takeru Kobayashi, the Japanese eating legend who won six consecutive Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contests, is stepping down from all future...".

This isn't new information, but it was presented here by a good conversation, especially the part where us humans are being fed food that was once whole, but it's deconstructed into separate ingredients that are then put together to make "food." It's literally chemicals binding food together. And, like drugs, this creates pathways in our brains pleasure/safety centers.

WAMU 88.5 - American University RadioHow ultra-processed food has changed our minds, bodies, and culture | 1AWe sit down with Chris Van Tulleken to talk about his new book, “Ultra-Processed People: The Science Behind Food That Isn’t Food.”  

"I had sort of expected that ... there wouldn't be any difference," says Hall. "But in fact, what we saw was that when they were on the ultra-processed diet, they were eating about 500 calories per day more than when they were on the unprocessed diet and they were gaining weight and gaining body fat" – they put on about 2 pounds on average.

On the unprocessed diet, people ended up eating less and lost weight.
