Ultra-processed food consumption and type 2 diabetes incidence: A prospective cohort study

Avid intake of ultra-processed foods may drive up the risk of type 2 diabetes in men and women.

This study assessed the link between preference for ultra-processed food consumption and the probability of becoming diabetic. Researchers examined 21,730 UK women with regards to their eating habits and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) diagnosis status.

Researchers discovered that the greater the frequency and amounts of ultra-processed foods ingested by participants, the higher the likelihood that they would suffer from type 2 diabetes. This study pointed out that likeness for ultra-processed foods may spur the development of type 2 diabetes in men and women.
