Study Links 100g Daily Ultra-Processed Food Intake to 14% Higher Heart Risk

A recent study published in Family Medicine and Community Health found that consuming an additional 100g of ultra-processed foods daily is linked to a 14% increased risk of cardiovascular events. The research also associates higher ultra-processed food intake with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and all-cause mortality. Experts caution that the risk relates to regular, substantial consumption rather than occasional intake and recommend focusing on whole or minimally processed foods.
