Food Truth
How ultra-processed food broke our health, and how to make food a force for good.
Ultra-processed food has been quietly undermining American health for over 50 years, and most of us still can’t tell which foods are ultra-processed. Labels aren’t required to tell the whole truth, so parents are left in the grocery aisle sorting through marketing claims while nine of the ten leading causes of death in America are now linked to diet.
In Food Truth, WISEcode founder Peter M. Castleman reveals how food was engineered to be irresistible and nearly empty of nutrition, and how our declining health became someone else’s profit. Then he does what no exposé has done: he hands you the fix. His team spent years decoding the 267,130 ingredient terms on American food packages down to the 5,154 real ingredients behind them, and built a free tool that tells you in seconds whether anything in your cart is ultra-processed, and why.
Your body was built to thrive. Food should be its greatest ally. Now it can be.
