Study links ultra-processed foods to higher risks of chronic diseases and premature death.
A recent study links increased consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) to higher risks of chronic diseases and premature death.
UPFs, which include many packaged and ready-to-eat foods, contain high levels of additives, preservatives, and unhealthy fats.
While the food industry is under pressure to make healthier processed options, UPFs remain popular due to their convenience and cost.
Experts recommend cooking at home and making informed food choices to reduce UPF intake.
Despite the health risks, definitive evidence is still lacking, and the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has not yet recommended avoiding UPFs.
