Frequent ultraprocessed food consumption raises mortality risks, especially in women

Ultraprocessed Food

  • A recent study of 27,670 participants found that ultraprocessed foods increase mortality risk, especially in women
  • Higher ultraprocessed food consumption was linked to poor cholesterol profiles, showing reduced HDL (good cholesterol) and increased VLDL (bad cholesterol), particularly in older women
  • Studies found people consuming most ultraprocessed foods had 11% higher cardiovascular disease risk, 16% higher coronary heart disease risk and 4% higher stroke risk
  • Research identified 25 adverse health outcomes from ultraprocessed food consumption, including respiratory diseases, kidney problems, mental health issues, and diabetes among adults and children
  • Linoleic acid (LA) in seed oils, a common ingredient in ultraprocessed foods, is particularly harmful; ideally, reduce your intake to 5 grams a day or less
