A study has found that ultraprocessed foods pose a severe risk to long-term human health. The study, published in the journal Circulation, examined more than 1,000 people who were followed for up to 15 years. Even in France, known for its healthy, whole foods (and the fatty, decadent ones eaten in moderation), apparently people are eating processed stuff. Researchers speculate that acrylamide, titanium dioxide, emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners and plastics with BPA may play a role in the increased risk. The findings follow a study by the same researchers last year, which stated that ultraprocessed foods were also linked to higher rates of both breast cancer and overall cancer.
