Higher ultra-processed food intake is associated with adverse liver outcomes: a prospective cohort study of UK Biobank participants
Preference for ultra-processed foods may pave the way for the development of liver disease.
This study evaluated the impact of increased dietary exposure to ultra-processed foods on liver health. Researchers surveyed the diet and health of a total of 173,889 men and women residing in the United Kingdom over a period of 9 years. Up to 2,042 participants were diagnosed with at least one form of liver disease during the study period.
Researchers noted that the more the amounts of ultra-processed food consumed by participants, the higher their probability of suffering from a liver disease. This study further affirmed that the love for ultra-processed foods may contribute significantly to the development of liver disease.
