Dr. Tim Spector, a researcher and nutrition advocate, advises caution when shopping for food, specifically ultra-processed items often labeled as 'low fat' or 'low calorie.' These labels can indicate high levels of additives rather than true health benefits. Spector, who experienced a health scare prompting him to research nutrition deeply, aims to educate consumers about 'health halos'—misleading advertising that can harm health. By identifying these claims and prioritizing whole foods, shoppers can improve their health and spending on groceries.
"I said, 'I need to change what I'm doing and do massive research to work out what I should be eating...'"
"Spector said he steers clear of anything labeled 'low-fat,'... Low-fat products have a long history in the fad diet industry."
