Children as young as seven living in a remote part of the Amazon are battling obesity and diabetes after ultra-processed food was introduced to the region, Dr Chris van Tulleken learns in a new BBC documentary.  
What Are We Feeding Our Kids?, which airs tomorrow, sees doctor Chris van Tulleken consume only ultra-processed foods (UPFs) - such as chicken nuggets, pizza and ready meals - for four weeks, to see what impact it has on the body. 
Not only did he gain weight, father-of-two Chris, 48, became sluggish, anxious and  an MRI scan showed that his brain began to constantly crave junk food in the same way as a person addicted to cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs would.
