Ready-to-eat meals linked to greater risk of dying
Eating more ultra-processed foods such as preserved meats could mean early death: study
Diets that include “ultra-processed” ready meals can increase the risk of early death, French research suggests.
Scientists who studied more than 44,500 men and women aged 45 and older uncovered a strong link between eating badly and dying.
Every 10% increase in ultra-processed food consumption was associated with a 14% greater risk of death from any cause.
Ultra-processed food was defined as food manufactured through multiple industrial processes and mostly consumed in the form of snacks, desserts or ready-to-eat or heat meals.
