We all know ultra-processed foods are harmful to us,but it seems hard to resist the sweet smell of sweets and cakes.However,recently published research may make you think twice before picking up the colourful sweets next time.
Ultra-processed foods range from the sweets that turn your tongue blue to those healthier-sounding canned soups packed with artificial(人工的) flavours.All in all,they are typically much more calorie-,sodium-(钠)and sugar-packed.According to the research,people who eat more ultra-processed foods are more likely to be more obese(病态肥胖的)and overweight,and tend to have a higher risk of having heart problems,diabetes or even cancer,including colorectal cancer(结肠直肠癌),breast cancer,etc.
This new link was observed when researchers analysed 24-hour dietary records of nearly 105,000 adults.Participants recorded what they ate from a list of 3,300 food items.Those items were later divided into different groups based on the degree to which they were processed.
“Ultra-processed fats and sauces,sugary products and drinks were associated with an increased risk of overall cancer,”the study says.Researchers have found that a 10% increase in the share of ultra-processed foods in the diet was related to an even greater increase in risks for overall cancer and breast cancer.
Faced with the surprising results,the researchers did many analysis and adjusted the findings for other factors,according to the study co-author Mathilde Touvier,and still,the results were quite concerning.She and her team suggested that people should try to limit the consumption of ultra-processed foods,making a balanced and diversified diet one of the prime concerns about public health.
