Ultraprocessed food and chronic noncommunicable diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 43 observational studies
Inculcating the habit of consuming ultra-processed foods may result in a spike in the incidence of different non-communicable diseases, including obesity, cancer, depression, metabolic syndrome, and cardiometabolic diseases.
This study looked at the impact of frequent intake of ultra-processed foods on the burden of non-communicable diseases. Researchers sifted through data drawn out from 48 studies.
Researchers found out that ultra-processed food eaters exhibited an upward trend in the incidence of different non-communicable diseases, including obesity, cancer, depression, dyslipidemia, functional dyspepsia, metabolic syndrome, frailty, cardiometabolic diseases, and irritable bowel syndrome. Evidence from this study suggest that avid consumption of ultra-processed foods make make an individual highly susceptible to several non-communicable diseases.
