A new study finds that high consumption of ultra -processed food (UPF) is associated with 41% increased risk of lung cancer, including NSCLC and SCLC subtypes. An extensive analysis of more than 101,000 American adults has shown over 12 years that the binding was independent of smoking and the overall quality of the diet.
Eating a lot of ultra-processed food-likes is packaged snacks, soda and finished food-moors to increase the risk of lung cancer by up to 41%, even if you don’t smoke or eat healthy otherwise, the study shows.
A new study published in Thorax shows that the high consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) is associated with a significantly increased risk of lung cancer, except for both non-milemical cells (NSCLCs) and IS with small lung cells (SCLC). It has been found that this association is independent of other risk factors, such as the condition of smoking and the overall quality of the diet.
A study based on more than 100,000 American adults for 12 years found 41% increased risk of lung cancer in those who consumed the most UPF.
What are ultra -processed meals?
UPFs are industrial formulations made mainly from substances extracted from food or synthesized chemically, containing ingredients, preservatives and enhancers of taste, with minimal or no intact foods. Their widespread consumption, especially in the western diet-has more than half of the daily caloric intake includes UPF-with concerns about their long-term health impacts.
On a large scale, scientists have found a significant link between higher consumption of ultra -performed foods (UPF) and an increased risk of lung cancer. It has been found that this association is independent of other risk factors, such as the condition of smoking and the overall quality of the diet.
A key finding of a study
Research, which analyzed data from more than 101,000 adults to an average survey period of 12.2 years, revealed the following statistics:
A total of 1,706 new lung cancer cases were identified during the study period.
Individuals in the highest quarter for UPF consumption had a 41% higher risk of lung cancer compared to those in the lowest quarter. This finding was statistically significant and applies to a wide range of variables.
