New Study Found That Ready to Eat and Processed Foods Can Lead To 32 Diseases

It has been claimed by a team of experts in Australia, the US, France and Ireland that they have found evidences that higher ultra-processed food intake has been linked with approximately 50 percent increased risk of cardiovascular diseases which can lead to death, and around 48 to 53 percent increased risk of anxiety as well as some common mental issues. Not only this, it has also proved to be a leading factor of a 12 percent increase in the risk of getting type 2 diabetes.

Researchers have stated that these processed and ready to eat foods have a direct relation with 32 health hazards which include mortality, cancer, mental, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and metabolic ill health conditions.

There is a comprehensive study which shows the review of 45 meta analyses in around 10 million people. In the BMJ, the writers have claimed that, “Overall, direct associations were found between exposure to ultra-processed foods and 32 health parameters spanning mortality, cancer, and mental, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and metabolic health outcomes.”

Many experts from known institutions, namely Johns Hopkins from the Bloomberg School of Public health in America, as well as other researchers from universities like the University of Sydney, Sorbonne University in France and Deakin University in Australia have also confirmed that such kinds of foods contain harmful elements which one should avoid to maintain their health. They have suggested that if one stays away from such foods, they can free themselves from the harsh outcomes from these processed foods which are associated with numerous fatal diseases, which include baked goods, snacks, fizzy drinks, sugary cereals, ready to eat meals as they come with artificial colours, emulsifiers, flavours and many other additives.
