Now, two new studies recently published in the journal The BMJ examine the effects of ultra-processed foods on certain health conditions. In one study, researchers from Tufts UniversityTrusted Source found that a diet high in ultra-processed foods increases the risk for colorectal cancer in men. Another study from a research team at IRCCS Neuromed in Pozzilli, Italy says that adults with the lowest-quality diet and highest ultra-processed food consumption have an increased risk for heart disease and all-cause mortality.
