Ultraprocessed food consumption has been linked to all-cause mortality in eight countries, as the U.S. pulls back on synthetic dyes in the food supply.
The study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, focused on the risk of all-cause mortality and the "epidemiologic burden" from ultraprocessed food consumption. "UPF consumption has been associated with 32 adverse health outcomes, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even mental health issues." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
The meta-analysis of observational cohort studies, conducted from November 2023 to July 2024, looked at people with low consumption of ultraprocessed foods in Colombia and Brazil, intermediate consumption in Chile and Mexico, and high consumptions in the U.S., the U.K., Australia and Canada.
