Study links ultra-processed foods to 32 diseases; it should be handled similarly to cigarettes.

A comprehensive review of research, involving 10 million people and marking the most extensive analysis to date, has revealed alarming links between ultra-processed food (UPF) diets and 32 health problems, including cancer, type 2 diabetes, and mental health disorders, The Daily Mail reports.

Researchers claim that eating ready meals, sugary cereals, and mass-produced bread may be harmful to all aspects of the body.

This groundbreaking study discovered “convincing” evidence that higher UPF intake is connected with a 50% increased risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke. The dangers included a 40-66% greater chance of death from heart disease, obesity, lung issues, and sleep disorders.

Experts draw comparisons between UPFs and cigarettes, highlighting the need of public policy in curbing  intake. They advocate for clear labelling of ultra-processed foods and propose restrictions on advertising and sales near schools and hospitals. 

Additionally, they call for governments to adopt dietary guidelines promoting minimally processed foods and make freshly prepared meals more accessible.

The UK, where ultra-processed foods constitute an estimated 57% of the national diet, faces particular concern. With obesity linked to UPFs costing the NHS £6.5 billion annually, urgent policy changes are imperative to safeguard public health. 

Despite study limitations, including inconsistent data collection methods, experts stress the critical need for immediate action to address the health risks associated with the widespread consumption of ultra-processed foods.
