Ultra-processed foods threaten global health

QNgTV- The world-renowned medical journal The Lancet has just published research results showing that ultra-processed foods (also known as UPF) are a major threat to public health and need to be urgently addressed.

Ultra-processed foods threaten global health

Accordingly, UPF is a group of foods or beverages created by industrial processing techniques, using additives and artificial ingredients, often containing little or no original food. Typical examples include carbonated soft drinks or instant noodles.

UPF is increasingly popular globally and is closely linked to poor diet quality and a range of diseases, from obesity to cancer, according to research from The Lancet .

Therefore, The Lancet scientists also outlined solutions to the problem, such as incorporating UPF into national policies similar to the way foods high in fat, sugar or salt are managed.
