Press Release: Synthetic Food Transformation
4th August 2024
The HEART Party Raises Concerns Over Synthetic Food Transformation: Urges Public Awareness and Action.
Australia – The HEART Party, the political party that gives Australian citizens a voice in all government policies affecting health, is stepping forward to address the growing concerns surrounding the latest advancements in synthetic food transformation.
Recent developments in food production, using emerging technologies such as AI, gene-editing, 3-D meat printing and other biotech innovations, promise food innovation with increased environmental sustainability and efficiency. However, amidst these promises lies a shroud of uncertainty regarding the potential impact on human health and compatibility with biological systems.
Synthetic food is synonymous with ultra-processed food. Ultra-processed food (UPF) is directly linked to 32 harmful effects to health including higher risk of heart disease, cancer, type 2 Diabetes, adverse mental health, and early death. This according to the world’s largest review of its kind, published in the British Medical Journal, February 28, 2024.
Synthetic food is a further extension of UPF, and the HEART Party raises the alarm about the lack of health safety data, and general lack of transparency about synthetic food industry developments within Australia, supported and funded with taxpayer money.
The HEART Party stands firm in its commitment to the health and well-being of all Australians. Our core values emphasise the importance of informed decision making in all areas that affect health. As we navigate this era of rapid technological advancement in food production, it is crucial we prioritise the health and safety of our citizens.
The HEART Party urges the public to be aware of the potential dangers posed by the synthetic food transformation, and advocate for policies that protect Australian citizens right to health, and informed choices about health.
