6 Popular Ultra-Processed Foods to Immediately Stop Eating

Facts Matter

One of the major criticisms that people have upon coming to the United States is the quality of food. Especially Europeans, when they come to America, are oftentimes really surprised to learn just how ultra-processed the American diet actually is. But even though most people intuitively understand that processed foods aren’t as good for them as whole foods, up until now, there’s been a real lack of scientific studies to confirm that suspicion.

There have been some studies that have linked ultra-processed food to poor health, but there hasn’t been a comprehensive review that can provide a broad assessment of all the evidence in this arena.

And so, in order to bridge that gap, researchers conducted a study and recently published it in the pages of the British Medical Journal. It’s titled: Ultra-processed food exposure and adverse health outcomes: an umbrella review of epidemiological meta-analyses.

This is the largest peer-reviewed study of its kind. Researchers took 14 different studies that have already been published in the past three years, and they conducted a meta-analysis on them to determine the link between ultra-processed foods and adverse health effects.

And what they found was fascinating, so let’s go through it together.
