The Nova Revolution: Unpacking Ultra-Processed Foods from Origin to Impact

This book explores ultra-processed foods through the NOVA classification, developed by Carlos Monteiro and colleagues. It traces the shift from whole foods to industrial products, and looks at how foods are engineered to be appealing and shelf-stable. Chapters present the case against these foods for health and the environment, the arguments in their defence, and stories of people cutting back, before offering ideas for returning to real food. Useful for curious eaters and home cooks. Not medical advice. 149 pages.
