Health Update: Ultra-Processed Foods Are Killing Us!
Hello again everyone:
More news about the disease – food connection. It is straightforward:
“Regular consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality, according to findings from two studies published in The BMJ.”
“Consumption of ultra-processed foods has increased over the past two decades across nearly all segments of the U.S. population , according to a new study by researchers at NYU School of Global Public Health.
“The overall composition of the average U.S. diet has shifted towards a more processed diet. This is concerning, as eating more ultra-processed foods is associated with poor diet quality and higher risk of several chronic diseases,” said Filippa Juul, an assistant professor and postdoctoral fellow at NYU School of Public Health and the study’s lead author. “The high and increasing consumption of ultra-processed foods in the 21 st century may be a key driver of the obesity epidemic.”
Ultra-processed foods are industrially manufactured, ready-to-eat or heat, include additives, and are largely devoid of whole foods. Previous studies by researchers at NYU School of Global Public Health have found that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with obesity and heart disease .”
Bottom Line: If you consume this type of food, you will suffer the consequences sooner or later. Please save yourself a lot of grief and consume at least 90% of your diet from whole, unprocessed, organic foods. You won’t regret it.
