Milli Hill's Eye-Opening New Book Unmasks the Hidden Dangers of Ultra-Processed Food for Women Everywhere We've heard the warnings about ultra-processed foods (UPF), but what are they specifically doing to women? For too long, women's health has been sidelined, with the male body treated as the default. In Ultra-Processed Women, journalist and women's health advocate Milli Hill is here to change that. Hill dives deep into the science, exposing how UPF--and even some beauty products--are quietly wreaking havoc on women's health. It's time to bring women's health front and centre in the conversation. Ultra-Processed Women is a call for change, urging us to question the impact of UPF and beauty products engineered by profit-driven industries to keep us hooked, often at the expense of our long-term health. Key Health Risks for Women Linked to UPF, Revealed in Ultra-Processed Women: Intensified period pain and PMS Worsened menopause symptoms Higher risk of obesity 50% higher risk of depression for middle-aged women Increased chances of female cancers Elevated risks in pregnancy Greater likelihood of dementia and Alzheimer's Building on the success of Ultra-Processed People but with a sharp focus on women's health, Ultra-Processed Women is the first book to tackle how UPF are uniquely harmful to women. It's a rallying cry for every woman tired of feeling overlooked and ready to reclaim her health from industries that put profits over people. This isn't another guilt-inducing diet book.
With her warm, witty style, Hill arms readers with the facts and practical tools to take control. It's not about deprivation--it's about empowering women to make informed choices, recognising that issues we've often accepted as "just part of being female" may be deeply connected to what's on our plates. Ultra-Processed Women will open your eyes, empower you, and give you the tools to demand better for your body, mind, and future.
