Filling our plates with ultra-processed foods consistently may up our chances of acquiring chronic diseases and mental health disorders.
This study looked at the influence of high dietary ingestion of ultra-processed foods (UPF) on the burden of chronic diseases and mental health disorders globally. Researchers conducted a meticulous meta-analysis on data and evidence compiled from 122 scientific publications.
Data analysis revealed a rising trend in the prevalence of chronic diseases and mental disorders among avid consumers of ultra-processed foods. "High UPF consumption is associated with an increased risk of a variety of chronic diseases and mental health disorders," the study concluded.
