New U.S.-focused research published in the American Journal of Public Health links UPF consumption to chronic disease\, cognitive impairment\, and addiction — and exposes how major tobacco companies engineered the modern UPF industry. As we learn more about the dangers that UPFs pose to public health and confront the corporate influence that makes them readily available\, the need for public education and policy change becomes increasingly urgent. \n\n\n\nIn response\, a growing movement of funders\, together with doctors\, scientists\, educators\, and policy advocates\, launched FedUp! to realize a shared vision: a nation nourished by real food\, not UPFs. This science-first public education movement translates UPF research for families\, communities\, and policymakers\, promotes innovative collaboration among individuals and institutions\, supports results-driven grantmaking\, and offers a trusted platform for new philanthropic investment in this space. \n\n\n\nJoin this webinar to hear from expert scientists about how corporations have intentionally shaped the systems\, products\, and narratives behind UPFs\, the policy reform landscape\, and how to get involved with FedUP! \n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\nRachel Roller\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, Dohmen Company Foundation (Moderator)\n\n\n\nKelly D.
