I just watched the first episode and it is a massive wake up call for anyone who is eating rubbish and/or is overweight.
I was amazed that Type 2 diabetes can be reversed as well as the scathing review he did on both Diabetes Austarlia and Dietiticians Australia.
Anyone who did not see the program would be well advised to watch it on SBS On Demand:
My wife has decided that she will eat cereals for breakfast again and wanted to know what she might like that is healthy. so I simply looked at the Choice website.
Wow. What a variation ranging from 5 star ratings to mere 2 star ratings, the latter obviously being some of the rubbish that Michael Mosely gave a serve to last night.
An article which claims that processed foods are OK.
Not quite sure regarding the credibility considering the name of the website.

The ABC has an interesting article on foods and provides some main food categories which are generally classed as ultraprocessed. It includes

I didnât know that some of these food categories are classed as ultraprocessed. I wonder how many also are surprised by what is on the list.
So does ultra-processed = bad food?
In many cases I would suggest it results in food just as good, but lasts longer, looks better, tastes better, etc.
