In this webinar, learn about the types of additives often used in ultra-processed foods, their function in food and what the research says about their impact on the gut microbiome and gut health. We will discuss ways the topic may arise in the classroom and how to best support community members as they navigate making healthy food choices. Dr. Jenny Smilowitz, Cooperative Extension Assistant Specialist in Nutrition and Health Equity at UC Davis, will present this webinar, co-hosted by CalFresh Healthy Living, UC.
