Tim Spector: 在研究过程中，我对蘑菇和超加工食品的认识发生了改变。过去，我对蘑菇的了解有限，仅限于烹饪方面的应用。但深入研究后，我发现蘑菇种类繁多，营养丰富，富含蛋白质，甚至在阳光下可以产生维生素D，这是一种天然的维生素D来源，比补充剂更重要。此外，蘑菇的‘鲜味’使其成为肉类的良好替代品。 关于超加工食品，我之前的观点主要集中在高糖、高脂、高盐等方面。但新的研究表明，超加工食品的危害并非仅仅来自这些因素，更重要的是其所含的额外化学物质，例如乳化剂、增稠剂和人工甜味剂等。这些化学物质会通过影响肠道菌群，间接损害健康，导致食欲增加和体重增加。一项研究表明，即使卡路里相同，食用超加工食品的人群也会比食用全食物的人群感到更饥饿，并摄入更多卡路里。因此，我认为超加工食品对健康的危害远比我们之前想象的要严重，它更像是一种我们没有被医生处方，却在日常生活中大量摄入的‘药物’。

Shownotes Transcript

While researching for his bestselling book, Food for Life, Tim dug deep into the new science around UPFs. We used to think they were unhealthy because of their high salt, fat and sugar levels. But there’s much more to the story. 

Tim helps us navigate our UPF-filled grocery stores to eat healthier, and explains what he got wrong about a food group he'd previously overlooked... the humble mushroom.
