Recent research has highlighted the significant health risks associated with the consumption of ultra-processed foods. A comprehensive review published in a leading gastroenterology and hepatology journal summarizes evidence linking these foods and food additives to a range of gut health issues and diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, and irritable bowel syndrome. The Guardian reported on what it calls the 'largest review of ultra-processed food,' which warns of 32 damaging effects on health. This extensive study has found strong connections between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and an increased risk of more than 30 health outcomes, notably early death, adverse cardiometabolic and mental health conditions, and specifically Type 2 diabetes, affecting nearly 40 million people. The review, described as the world's largest of its kind, directly links ultra-processed foods to harmful health effects such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and early death. Experts are now suggesting that ultra-processed foods should be treated with the same caution as cigarettes, given their widespread detrimental impact on health.

2 things can be true: Most ultraprocessed foods (UPF) present in the food supply (& captured on dietary recall tools) can be detrimental to health AND There can be many ex of foods that meet the definition of UPF and are unlikely to detrimentally impact health/may be helpful
