Ultra-Processed Foods and Incident Cardiovascular Disease in the Framingham Offspring Study
Fondness for ultra-processed foods may make an individual more likely to develop and die from cardiovascular disease.
This study focused on how consistent ingestion of ultra-processed foods influences the burden of cardiovascular disease. With the aid of validated food frequency questionnaires, researchers compiled and examined data on the ultra-processed food intake levels of over 3,000 persons from 1991 to 2017. The cardiovascular disease risk of each participant was estimated during the course of the study.
Researchers observed that the risk of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease rose significantly with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods. This study demonstrated that preference for ultra-processed foods may lead to a surge the number of diagnoses and death toll from cardiovascular disease.
