People who regularly eat processed food increase their risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which includes heart attack and stroke, by as much as 47 percent.
And too many Americans are eating a lot of processed food: itโs the staple food for 60 percent of adults and 70 percent of children.
Researchers from Florida Atlantic University calculated the impact of the foods on 4,787 American adults with an average age of 55.
The foods may not only be increasing the risk of CVD: they could also be causing gastrointestinal problems and colon cancer, the researchers warn.
Itโs been known for a while that the food is bad for the heartโit has been linked to obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and insulin resistanceโbut the researchers are among the first to calculate the actual risk.
They liken the awareness of the dangers of processed foods to smoking when the to***co industry resisted the evidence of the damage of smoking for years ๐ฎ๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ค ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐.
