Intake of Ultra-processed Foods Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Crohn's Disease: A Cross-sectional and Prospective Analysis of 187 154 Participants in the UK Biobank
Indulgence in ultra-processed foods may make an individual more likely to develop Crohn's disease.
This study investigated the processed foods-Crohn's disease connection hypothesis. With the aid of validated food frequency questionnaires, researchers examined the dietary habits of 185,849 UK men and women for nearly 10 years. The occurrence of Crohn's disease among the participants was assessed using hospital records.
Researchers discovered that ultra-processed food eaters had a high tendency to come down with Crohn's disease. This 2023 study of UK men and women documented a harmful relationship between high dietary ingestion of ultra-processed foods and the development of Crohn's disease.
