Ultra-processed food exposure and adverse health outcomes: umbrella review of epidemiological meta-analyses
Consistent consumption of ultra-processed foods may be harmful to our health and put us at risk of suffering and dying from several chronic diseases, including obesity, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.
This study looked at the impact a high ultra-processed food diet can have on human health. Researchers analyzed the results of 45 studies that examined nearly 10 million persons.
Researchers observed that frequent eaters of ultra-processed foods were prone to developing obesity, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes and dying from chronic diseases. "Greater exposure to ultra-processed food was associated with a higher risk of adverse health outcomes, especially cardiometabolic, common mental disorder, and mortality outcomes. "
