It’s nothing new than Ultracroced food They are not healthy and that is behind the appearance of severe chronic diseases How can it be cancerHypertension, Parkinson’s … And now two studies confirm everything that sugar -like soft drinks, baked, packaged cookies or industrial breakfast cereals hide.
Both conclusions are known this week in one of the The most important cardiology congresses in the world, as well as in the magazine Neurology. Ultimately, these are low industrial products in nutrients and rich in sugars, saturated fats, salt and additives with what they do not enter in the parameters of a healthy and healthy lifestyle.
Ultracroced consumption: Nothing good
Eating ultracrocessed foods such as sugary soft drinks, packaged cookies or industrial breakfast cereals could accelerate the appearance of serious chronic diseasesAccording to two new studies that will be presented this week, respectively in one of the most important cardiology congresses in the world and the magazine Neurology. Ultracrocessed are industrial products with multiple stages of processing, few nutrients and rich in sugars, saturated fats, salt and additives.
In a first job, which will be announced next weekend during the annual congress of the American College of Cardiology and the Singapore Cardiac Society, held in the Asian country this year, researchers analyzed 41 prospective studies that were carried out in more than 8.2 million people around the world.
Your findings conclude that 100 grams extra daily foods They are associated with an increase of 14.5 % in the risk of hypertension, 5.9 % in cardiovascular events, 1.2 % in cancer, 19.5 % of digestive diseases and 2.6 % in death as a result of any cause. They also observed links with Obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression and anxiety.

These first symptoms – as sleep disorders, smell problems, sleepiness during the day, body pain or depression – can appear for years or even decades before the disease is diagnosed.
The study included 42,853 people without Parkinson’s at the start of the study, with a follow -up of a maximum of 26 years. Who consumed 11 or more daily parts of Ultracommissions (Equivalent for example on a can of soft drinksA sausage or a tablespoon of ketchup per part) had a probability 2.5 times higher of presenting at least three prodromic symptoms of the Parkinson’sCompared to those who ate less than three daily portions.
«Choosing less processed and more natural food can be one Good strategy to protect the health of the brain »he said Xiang GaoMain researcher of this second work and professor at the Fudan University Institute in Shanghai. “Our study proves no causality, but it does show a worrying association that must be investigated more thoroughly.”
Both studies recommend stricter labeling and transparency public policy in the food industry, as well as clinical interventions that help people Gradually reduce the consumption of ultracrocess Take healthier diets, Like the Mediterranean.
