Webinar + Q&A

Last Day to Register: August 19th, 2025
Excess consumption of ultra-processed foods is linked to increased risks of disease and death. However, these associations appear to be driven largely by sweetened beverages and processed meats. In that case, instead of being a part of the problem, plant-based meats may be the solution to the ultra-processed foods issue. Unlike other ultra-processed foods, plant-based meats are healthier than the foods they were designed to replace. How do they compare to whole plant foods? In this live 3-hour CME-approved webinar, I’ll explore the public health implications of full or partial replacement of animal products with both ultra-processed plant-based products and whole plant foods.
Everyone registered for the webinar will receive the webinar recording within a few days of the webinar taking place.
Preorder Ultra-Processed Foods: Concerns, Controversies, and Exceptions: Available in paperback, .epub, and audiobook.

Testimonials
All of the content was extremely useful. Dr. G is the best teacher, even via the web, I have ever listened to. Clear, engaging, personable, passionate, patient and very interesting.
It is a very cool feeling that there are over 500 people around the globe, who are interested in nutrition and want to know even more. So keep up the good work.
Dr. Greger did a fantastic job bringing his genius knowledge down to my level. I learned so much on all the ways to research effectively, thoroughly and truthfully. He was fantastic! He went over aspects enough times for me to get what he was talking about. So he didn't go too fast. He went just at the right pace. He did it with humor and fascination on a subject that can be tedious, he made it an adventure. I really appreciate all the work and planning that went into the four hours! Can't wait for him to do it again on another subject!
This course is worth so much money and a huge value to those particularly in university and research. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!
Dr. Greger is a rare treasure and his educational style is engaging. Thank you all!
