Ultra-Processed Risks
Ultra-processed foods are not all equal in nutritional value or risk. Classification by degree of processing alone is not enough to judge a product’s quality, and processing can improve food safety, extend shelf life, and fortify some products with nutrients. Diets high in these foods are associated with increased risks of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. One analysis of studies found that the groups with the highest consumption had nearly 37% higher risk of diabetes, 32% higher risk of obesity, and 32% higher risk of high blood pressure. However, most of the evidence is observational and does not, on its own, establish causation. Experts recommend limiting excessive consumption of products high in sugar, fat, and sodium; reading labels and watching portion sizes; and favoring a varied diet that includes foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
