It provides a profound insight into various factors such as biological, psychological, sociological, and marketing aspects to elucidate our recent dependence and addiction to UPF, despite our awareness of the potential health risks associated with their excessive consumption.
However, the author includes some shocking facts that lack substantial support from reputable scientific sources. Additionally, I found the author's extensive incorporation of personal anecdotes into the book somewhat off-putting. While this opinion might be polarizing, it didn't resonate with me. Furthermore, I disagree with the author's reliance on newspaper articles for references instead of directly citing the studies themselves. Especially in today's attention-driven media landscape, where newspapers often use sensational and inflammatory headlines to boost traffic, citing the actual studies would provide more credibility.
Overall, I believe that discussing this topic is crucial in today's society. However, we need more nuanced, scientifically-backed, and non-inflammatory perspectives that promote critical thinking and genuine knowledge, rather than resorting to fear-mongering and anti-science rhetoric.
I would rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
