*Enemy Within; Ultra-Processed Foods!*
Scientists have classified foods into four groups (known as the NOVA Classification) based on how processed the foods are and they use this classification system in scientific research.
Researchers have found that a higher intake of ultra-processed foods (UPF) increases the risk of developing many types of cancer, including colorectal, breast and pancreatic cancers.
AICR’s Cancer Prevention Recommendations advise choosing more vegetables, fruit, legumes and whole grains, and fewer fast foods and ultra-processed foods loaded with sugar.
