World’s largest scientific review warns consumption of UPFs poses seismic threat to global health and wellbeing
Ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked to harm in every major organ system of the human body and poses a seismic threat to global health, according to the world’s largest review.
UPF is also rapidly displacing fresh food in the diets of children and adults on every continent, and is associated with an increased risk of a dozen health conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and depression.
The sharp rise in UPF intake worldwide is being spurred by profit-driven corporations using a range of aggressive tactics to drive consumption, skewer scientific debate and prevent regulation, the review of evidence suggests.
The findings, from a series of three papers published in the Lancet, come as millions of people increasingly consume UPF such as ready meals, cereals, protein bars, fizzy drinks and fast food.
There’s no such thing as bad cholesterol. It’s just cholesterol. Why would eggs be bad for you?
Also I can’t see any downside to eggs, so there is no scenario where eggs are worse then hummus
The fact people have twisted themselves in knots to justify eating ultra processed foods shows how insidious the problem is.
Eggs are nature’s multivitamin
Reread that. Bad cholesterol in that sentence is not referring to the type of cholesterol its referring to the level of cholesterol in the person.
