Ultra-processed food consumption and risk of colorectal cancer precursors: results from 3 prospective cohorts
Habitual intake of ultra-processed foods may give rise to precursors of colorectal cancer, such as adenomas and polyps.
This study examined the link between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and the occurrence of precursors of colorectal cancer (CRC), such as adenomas and polyps. Out of the 142,052 men and women whose diets were examined over a 20-year period, 22,122 of them developed colorectal adenomas and serrated lesions during the course of the study.
Researchers discovered that precursors of colorectal cancer tend to occur at a high rate among lovers of ultra-processed foods. This study concluded that "higher consumption of UPFs is associated with an increased risk of CRC precursors."
