New study says that ultra-processed foods can be associated with early death

The researchers involved in the study examined earlier investigations to estimate the effects of UPF on the mortality, according to the report of April 28.

However, the study could not definitely prove that Upfs caused early deaths, since the number of UPFs in the diet of a person was also associated with their general diet, their training level, their wider lifestyle and prosperity, which could also influence health BBC wrote.

Published in the American Journal of Prudotentive MedicineThe study dealt with surveys in the nutrition of people and data on deaths from eight countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Great Britain and the USA.

Examples of UPFS are increasingly in diets worldwide and are processed meat, cookies, sparkling drinks, ice cream and some breakfast cereals.

UPFs tend to contain more than five ingredients that are usually not contained in homemade foods such as additives, sweeteners and chemicals to improve the texture or the appearance of food.

The report estimated that in Great Britain and the USA, where Upfs are more than half of the calorie intake, 14% of the early deaths could be associated with the damage caused by them BBC
wrote.

In countries such as Colombia and Brazil, in which the UPF was much lower (less than 20% of the calorie intake), the study estimated that these foods were associated with around 4% of premature deaths.

The main study author Dr. Eduardo Nilson from Brazil was cited that UPFS influenced health due to the “changes in food during industrial processing and the use of artificial ingredients, including colorants, artificial flavors and sweeteners, emulsifiers as well as many other additives and processing aids”.

According to the study, there were 124,000 and 18,000 early deaths in 2018 due to the consumption of UPFS in the United States and in the UK.

The researchers asked the governments to update their nutritional advice to encourage people to reduce these foods.

In the meantime, the Expert committee of the British government recently gave with me BBC
wrote.

Dr. Nerys Astbury, an expert in nutrition and obesity at the University of Oxford, agreed that research gave restrictions.

“So far, studies have not been able to prove that the effects of UPFs are nothing more than on” diets high in foods that are energy view and contained large amounts of fat and sugar “.

According to the Food and Drink Federation, the manufacturer represents, the term “a variety of foods that can help people can help people achieve a healthy, balanced diet such as yogurt, pasta sauces or bread”.
