People who eat too much processed foods should consider a new diet – due to processed foods’ links with cancer and autoimmune diseases.
That’s according to immunologist Professor Luke O’ Neill , who said studies suggest the more “manipulated” food is, the bigger the health risk.
For example, he explained a study in France found too many microwave meals or fast food can wreak havoc on your gut. “Trillions of bacteria are living in your gut, in your colon, in your intestines, and they're very important for our health – if they get disturbed, it can damage the gut.”These changes to the gut composition of bacteria can impact all areas of health, according to Prof O’Neill.
A study by Professor Vijay Kuchroo in the US found that increased salt – a staple of processed foods – stimulates cells in the immune system.
