Abstract

PEREZ BERLANGA, Gustavo. Ultra-processed foods as a topic of study in global bioethics. Med. ética [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.4, pp.935-998.  Epub Dec 05, 2023. ISSN 2594-2166.  https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2023v34n4.02.

This article proposes to consider food in general and ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages in particular, as an issue that concerns global bioethics. The first section explains the relationship between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and health, the second section relates the so-called non-communicable diseases and mental health with food, and the third section argues the role that bioethics, especially global bioethics, should play around food.

Keywords : food and health; non-communicable diseases; bioethics.
