GC supports IFST Lecture 바카라 사이트˜Ultra-processed foods: The science and the policy바카라 사이트™
The 바카라 사이트 Chemist and the National Measurement Laboratory were pleased to support the annual lecture organised by the Institute of Food Science & Technology
Professor Michael Gibney
The lecture is one of the highlights of the year for the food science profession, providing critical thinking on topical issues and valuable networking for the 150 or so guests. Hosted in London, it is also live streamed to venues around the UK.
This year바카라 사이트™s guest speaker was , Emeritus Professor of Food and Health, University College Dublin. Professor Gibney discussed his views on 바카라 사이트˜ultra-processed foods바카라 사이트™ and the issues raised for policy makers.
In a wide-ranging review of scientific literature, he questioned some prevalent notions around ultra-processed foods. Professor Gibney concluded for example, that he could find no clear biological basis to believe that either processing or additives are linked to chronic disease. Moreover, he advised that advocating avoidance of ultra-processed foods may create problems for policy makers and for consumers.
In the lively Q&A that followed Professor Gibney noted that more work on nutrient intake as a function of specific genotypes may yield clearer evidence for policy making on major disease classes.
