Which old trick from the Tobacco industry playbook is now used by large Food&Beverage corporations to keep us confused ?

👉 AGNOGENIC PRACTICES ! = undertake actions to create doubt.

🤔 How?

For instance, by financing (pseudo)science that purposefully creates confusion and/or discredits unbiased studies. That's not our opinion, this was revealed in a report from the World Health Organization.

People are currently very confused about ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and whether they might impact health: due to lack of science? or agnogenic practices in this field as well?
📲 In the meantime. you can be a COnscious COnsumer: the GoCoCo App can help understand how healthy or not your shopping basket is, amongst others by detecting UPFs.
