UPFs, Diets, Disease: The Global Drift πβ‘οΈπβ‘οΈβ οΈ
The new Lancet Series on ultra-processed foods offers a striking insight: as UPFs rise globally, traditional whole-food diets declineβbringing nutrient imbalance, overeating, toxic exposures, and hyper-palatable formulations that quietly reshape health trajectories. πβ‘οΈβ οΈ Across more than 100 prospective studies and multiple trials, higher UPF intake consistently links to obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, depression, and higher all-cause mortality. ππ©Ί The message is clear: reducing UPF consumption isnβt a wellness trendβitβs a public health imperative. Evidence-based policies and renewed investment in minimally processed, culturally rooted food systems are urgently needed. π±π¬π #UltraProcessedFoods #PublicHealth #Nutrition #ChronicDisease #LancetSeries
