Factory Food is any food designed and packaged for a long shelf life or to be transported over long distances, is hyper-palatable, is full of molecules that weren't in food before 1975, and uses additives not proven safe for beneficial gut microbes. Factory Food is easy to spot with its ingredient label of multiple items beyond the whole food. Stop eating Factory Food.

None of 10,000 FDA approved additives are tested as safe for your gut microbes.

• All diet types can be good or bad based on two factors: are the diets biodiverse and not factory food?
• Most diets have tons of research supporting their often contradictory claims, but food biodiversity is always a good thing.
• Focus on eating food without any of these Factory Food additives by avoiding foods with ingredient labels.
