US EditionCanadian study links ultra processed foods to poor health outcomes
- Researchers at McMaster University published a Canadian study on May 7, 2025, linking ultra-processed food consumption to poor health outcomes.
- The study analyzed data from over 6,000 adults and found that consuming ultra-processed foods increases cardiometabolic risk factors, independent of BMI and lifestyle factors.

- The findings suggest public health strategies should encourage consuming whole foods over ultra-processed ones using targeted policies and consumer education.
