”I ate it today too”... Eating this every day increases your risk of death

A new study has found that eating a lot of ultra-processed foods such as ham, sausages, sweets, and ramen increases the risk of early death.
On the 30th, according to foreign media such as the BBC and The Guardian, Dr. Eduardo Nielsen, a researcher from Brazil,
The team recently published a paper on the topic in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. The research team worked with researchers from the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and other countries.
The study, which looked at diet and mortality data for citizens of eight countries, found that every 10% increase in ultra-processed food intake was associated with a 3% increased risk of dying before age 75.
Ultra-processed foods literally mean foods that have been overly processed. They contain a lot of additives such as preservatives and colorings, and are said to have a negative effect on health. Ham and sausage
Ultra-processed foods include not only sage, sweets, and ramen, but also soda, ice cream, and cereals. In the US and UK, ultra-processed foods account for more than half of the daily calorie intake.
According to the research team's analysis, the number of premature deaths in the United States due to the consumption of ultra-processed foods reached 124,000 in 2018.
In the UK, the figure was estimated at 18,000. The team found that high intakes of ultra-processed foods in the US and UK were associated with 14% of premature deaths, while overall
In Brazil and Colombia, where processed foods account for less than 20% of the calories consumed in the U.S., they are linked to 4% of premature deaths. Dr Nilsson said: "Ultra-processed foods, with their various additives and artificial ingredients, are bad for your health.
"It has an impact on the health of our children," he said, "and we need to update our dietary guidelines to reduce our intake of ultra-processed foods." However, many have questioned the study and pointed out its limitations.
"There are a lot of mathematical assumptions in this study, and we have to approach the results with caution," said a professor of applied statistics in the UK. "We don't know exactly what causes the early deaths."
Some have pointed out that this finding cannot be generalized because there are many types of foods that fall into the ultra-processed food category, and that reactions may vary depending on physical health conditions.
