Unpacking the truth about what's on your plate - and what it's doing to your health

Everyone is talking about ultra-processed food (UPF) and its impact on our health - but what about women? Is this very modern way of eating having a unique and specific impact on the female body? Are these 'industrially produced food-like items in plastic packets' that many of us consume particularly damaging to women's health?

In Ultra-Processed Women, acclaimed journalist and women's health advocate Milli Hill uncovers the shocking truth. From period pain and weight gain to depression, hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions and even Alzheimer's, Hill reveals cutting-edge research into the hidden dangers that lurk in your daily food choices.

But this is not just a book about food. Ultra-Processed Women also explores the way the modern food industry has exploited women in their advertising for decades and uncovers the damage being wrought not only on our bodies but on the environment and on our own ability to connect with each other through the fundamentally human experience of cooking and eating.

This isn't just a wake-up call - it's a battle cry. Written in Hill's trademark down-to-earth style, Ultra-Processed Women will help you understand the issues and develop a clear course of action, arming you with tools and practical steps to cut through the confusion, break free from the damaging effects of UPFs, and reclaim your health without guilt or deprivation. Changing the way we eat, Hill argues, is a radical act of resistance to an ultra-processed world.

It's time to take back control. Your body, your choices, your future.
