Americans’ Ultraprocessed Diets
Ultraprocessed foods make up the majority (55%) of Americans’ caloric intake, according to a study released yesterday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the agency has surveyed Americans’ nutrition since the 1960s, the latest report is the first to analyze ultraprocessed food consumption.
The term “ultraprocessed foods” was coined in 2009 and has been linked to a variety of health problems, including obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. There is no universally accepted definition; the report uses a Brazilian framework, describing “ultraprocessed” as industrial creations with few, if any, whole foods. The report found sandwiches—including burgers, hot dogs, and PB&Js—are Americans’ top source, followed by baked goods, salty snacks, and sugary drinks.
Kids and people from lower-income brackets consume especially high levels of ultraprocessed foods, though rates have declined slightly over the past decade. Read the full study here.
