Consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with obesity, diabetes and hypertension in Canadian adults
Upping our rate of ingestion of ultra-processed foods may put us at risk of developing obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.
This study examined the consumption of ultra-processed foods and its association with the development of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Researchers tracked the eating habits and medical records of 13,000 Canadian men and women.
Researchers noticed that elevated intake of ultra-processed foods raised an individual's odds of suffering obesity, diabetes, and hypertension by as much as 31%, 36%, and 60% respectively. The take-home message from this study is that each portion of ultra-processed food we consume may edge us closer to becoming obese, diabetic, and hypertensive.
