US EditionFrom soda to white bread, ultraprocessed foods increase risk of early death
- A 2018 study led by Eduardo Nilson found that ultraprocessed foods made up about 58% of American diets and increased the risk of death by nearly 14%.
- This elevated risk resulted from the high proportion of ultraprocessed foods in U.S. Diets, which is the highest globally among featured countries.
- The study linked ultraprocessed foods to 32 health conditions including cancer, obesity, and high blood pressure, emphasizing risks beyond critical nutrients due to industrial processing and additives.
- Eduardo Nilson reported that for every 10% rise in the proportion of ultra-processed foods in an individual's diet, the chance of dying from any cause increases by 3%, with an estimated 124,000 premature deaths in the U.S. In 2018 linked to the consumption of these foods.
- The findings suggest urgent global policies to reduce ultraprocessed food intake and promote traditional diets centered on fresh, minimally processed foods.
