I have been very interested in the recent paper - Ultra-processed food intake and risk of cardiovascular disease: prospective cohort study (NutriNet-Santé)
BMJ 2019; 365 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.l1451 (Published 29 May 2019) Cite this as: BMJ 2019;365:l1451
https://www.bmj.com/content/365/bmj.l1451
The paper is authored by Bernard Srour and colleagues. I then found:
Article Consumption of ultra-processed foods and cancer risk: Result...
authored by Thibault Fiolet
but Bernard Srour was also in the team.These excellent papers warn about the foods that so many people consume. How can the message be passed down to those who can be helped and how should people be assisted to make potentially life changing changes in their diet and fluid intake?

Unfortunately most of the victims of unhealthy food environment are deprived people who do not have many healthy options. The most plausible approach could be changing the food environment. The whole systems approach is suggested to address this issue whereby everyone involved i.e. food industry, policy makers, consumers, practitioners etc. are brought together to improve food environment. It is a hard approach but promising. Health education alone is not sufficient to make a dietary change for instance. unhealthy food environment is a wicked problem and challenging.
Thank you, Windi Lameck Marwa, I agree. The change is not going to happen 'over night' but this is probably the only way forward.
