About

Taking into account the current food panorama, this panel aims to highlight and value scientific information capable of providing conscious food choices about what we are actually ingesting, as well as to expose the relationship between "food" made available in large scale by agro-food companies and corporations in large market networks and human health. There is a direct relationship between the consumption of ultra-processed foods, the global increase of obesity and the occurrence of a wide range of chronic diseases.
