New Research Says Ultra-processed Foods Affect the Whole Body

Bad News Gummy Bears: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are back in the headlines, and the newest findings are pretty striking. A new series of papers in The Lancet took a closer look at how UPFs — which now make up more than half of what the average American eats — are affecting us. What they found was surprising: diets high in UPFs may be linked to problems across almost every major organ system.

The Study: After reviewing 104 long-term studies, a panel of 43 experts found that people who eat a lot of UPFs showed higher risks of chronic diseases and earlier death. The research points to broad effects across every major organ system and an increased risk of a dozen health conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and depression. It all suggests that our bodies may not be suited for diets dominated by these foods.

The Takeaway: The overall pattern is impossible to ignore: eating more meals built around less-processed foods tends to support better long-term health.

Keep in Mind: UPFs are still a fuzzy category, and many experts argue that focusing on goals such as reducing added sugar or excess sodium should address much of the problem.

Nevertheless, my readers do understand what is healthy and what is not so I trust that they will be able to differentiate what they should be eating and understand that making bad choices will negatively impact their health.
