Laura Guinovart Martín

Why you are interested in nutrition?

I have always been passionate about food, not only because of how it can transform us physiologically and in terms of health, but also because of the culinary and cultural art behind it. Our food choices can revolutionize our world sustainably if we choose with awareness.

If you had to choose to be a vegetable or a fruit, which one would you be?

It's a tough question, I would like to be so many… But I think the one that represents me the most is the tomato. I love summer, and I'm very versatile (you can use me for marinara or as a base for lentil sofrito).

What are your hobbies?

I’m passionate about many things. Life is so curious and fun! You can find me reading, climbing, practicing yoga, cooking, playing electric guitar, and even diving.

Every 10% increase in ultra-processed food consumption in a person's diet, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increased by 17%

Recent studies indicate a significant link between ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. UPFs, created through complex industrial processes, often contain cosmetic additives that can compromise their nutritional value. Research shows that increased UPF consumption correlates with a higher risk of diabetes, highlighting the need to reduce these foods in our diets.

No, all UPFs are not full of salt, sugar, saturated fat and calories. That's why UPFs matter.

Our data analysis of the USDA database showed that 56% of US food products are both ultra-processed and high in nutrients of concern. What about all the 190,000 products that are either UPF or excessive in nutrients? That's exactly why the UPF concept is relevant, and we should assess foods with a double lens.

71% of US packaged foods are high in sugar, salt, saturated fat or calories !
