Fmr. FDA Commish: ‘The U.S. Has Been Exposed to Something that Our Biology Was Never Intended to Handle’

TRANSCRIPT:

KESSLER: "Over the last 40 years, the United States has been exposed to something that our biology was never intended to handle. Energy-dense, highly palatable, rapidly observable, ultra-processed foods that altered our metabolism and have resulted in the greatest increase in chronic disease in our history.  Type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, hypertension, abnormal lipids, fatty liver, heart attacks, stroke, heart failure."

WHITAKER: "From our food?"

KESSLER: "From our food."
