Ultraprocessed food intake shortens lifespan 🚨

Significant findings regarding UFPs and longevity.

Premature Mortality Attributable to Ultraprocessed Food Consumption in 8 Countries

Study Details

This new meta-analysis compiled data from 7 studies (almost 240,000 participants) to assess the relationship between…

Ultraprocessed food (UPF) intake and all-cause mortality 💀

Then authors estimated the risk of premature deaths attributable to UPFs in 8 countries with differing UPF intakes 🌎

Low = 🇨🇴🇧🇷

Intermediate = 🇨🇱🇲🇽

High = 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸

Here is what they found ⬇️

Key Findings

Results showed a linear dose–response association between the ultraprocessed food consumption and all-cause mortality ⚠️

(the greater UPF intake = the greater the risk)

Estimations of premature death due to UPF intake ranged from…

4% (🇨🇴) to 14% (🇬🇧🇺🇸)

Conclusion

These findings suggest that UPF intake contributes significantly to the overall burden of disease in many countries ‼️

A diet consisting primarily of fresh whole foods and minimal intakes of UPFs should be prioritised for longevity ✅
