Do you eat any of these?
Scientists have revealed that eating certain types of food can mean as much as a 30 per cent higher risk of developing some forms of cancer. The Imperial School of Public Health has released the results of research which says there is a definite link between eating ultra-processed foods and the risk of developing cancers.
Processed foods are any raw agricultural commodities that have been washed, cleaned, milled, cut, chopped, heated, pasteurized, blanched, cooked, canned, frozen, dried, dehydrated, mixed or packaged — anything done to them that alters their natural state. This may include adding preservatives, flavours, nutrients and other food additives, or substances approved for use in food products, such as salt, sugars and fats.
Dr Eszter Vamos, lead senior author for the study, from Imperial College London’s School of Public Health, said: “This study adds to the growing evidence that ultra-processed foods are likely to negatively impact our health including our risk for cancer. Given the high levels of consumption in UK adults and children, this has important implications for future health outcomes.
“Our bodies may not react the same way to these ultra-processed ingredients and additives as they do to fresh and nutritious minimally processed foods. The average person in the UK consumes more than half of their daily energy intake from ultra-processed foods.
