Food for thought for the scientists among us?
In the last couple of weeks there have been a couple of articles relating to some of the previous discussions.
Processed foods and a new classification system NOVA which puts foods into groups depending on the level of processing they have undergone. Some surprising ones in the amount of processing some foods are regarded as having.
The other is 'The trouble with calories' suggesting the calories on food packets are wrong as they are determined by method which don't represent how the human body deals with the calories in the foods. In reality it is calorie availability which is an important factor. So the conclusion is, it does matter where the calories come from. The researcher is Giles Yeo and has a book Why Calories Don't Count.
