The new U.S. Dietary Guidelines arrived with fanfare. Parse the fine print and something troubling surfaces: mixed messaging, a contested process, and recommendations that conflict with the advisory committee's own findings. This week, @simonhill from @theproof is back to help us untangle what actually changed, what the evidence supports, and why the downstream consequences reach well beyond your dinner plate. Now available everywhere you enjoy the Rich Roll podcast, including YT. Link is in my bio.

It's a question that impacts food-based content creators everywhere - how do they balance content and consumption? ‘Somebody Feed Phil’ host Phil Rosenthal joined Mike Hosking to reveal his secrets. 🔗Check out the full discussion via the link in bio.

This study by Kevin Hall and his team at the NIH (2019) was the first randomized controlled trial to prove that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) can cause people to eat more calories and gain weight, even when the nutrients like sugar, fat, protein and fiber are matched. Key info: • 20 healthy participants. • 28 days living in a metabolic ward (I misspoke in my video! I said it was 2 weeks total. It was 2 weeks on each diet) •The researchers matched the meals for total calories, sugar, fiber, and macronutrients. Participants were told they could eat as much or as little as they wanted (ad libitum). • The Key Finding: When on the ultra-processed diet, people ate about 500 more calories per day than they did on the minimally processed diet. • The Result: In just two weeks, participants gained ~ 2 lbs (0.9 kg) on the ultra-processed diet and lost ~2 lbs (0.9 kg) on the unprocessed diet. What could be causing the overconsumption? Especially when things like sugar, fiber, and macronutrients were the same in each meal? •The study found that people ate ultra-processed foods significantly faster. This speed could prevent the body’s “fullness” signals from reaching the brain in time, leading to overeating calories. • Ultra-processed foods are typically hyper palatable, with a combination of 2 or all of the following: sugar, fat, and salt. Studies are looking into whether this works on the reward system in the brain, driving some to over eat foods with these properties. •UPFs are often very energy dense. Holding a high amount of calories in a small portion. Making it easy to eat hundreds of calories without even knowing it. •These are just a few of the possibilities. There are more too! Now we need to conduct studies trying to get more definitive answers. And then what do we do with that information? Some think food companies should have to change formulas, or these foods should be taxed higher. Others think ultimately it comes down to individual responsibility.

On the pod, @simonhill and I discuss the fine print on the guidelines: the contradictions, the omissions, and the downstream consequences of these decisions at a federal level. Go tune in.

Nutrition guidelines often sound like strict rules, but in reality they are sometimes shaped by what is practical for the population, not just perfect scientific precision. Comment ‘409’ and I’ll send the link to the episode straight to your inbox. This clip explores how recommendations, like reducing refined grains or past limits on dietary cholesterol, have evolved and why public health messaging often aims for realistic improvements rather than ideal perfection.

Ever wondered why nutrient targets exist? The surprising origins might make you rethink everything you know about health and nutrition. It's not about health, but survival. Dig deeper into what's truly behind these guidelines in this interview with Nick Wallace, part of The World's Greatest Health Show. Link in bio

Ultra-processed foods are often linked to weight gain and chronic disease, but is the issue the processing itself or the nutritional profile they typically carry? Given how dominant these foods are in modern diets, understanding the mechanisms behind their impact could open the door to better versions that do not drive excess calorie intake in the same way. Comment ‘411’ and I’ll send the link to the episode straight to your inbox. It raises a bigger question about whether the future of nutrition is eliminating these foods or fundamentally redesigning them.
