A study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, obesity, metabolic syndrome, certain cancers including colorectal cancer and premature death.
The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies, which researchers analyzed as part of umbrella review.
It’s amazing what’s allowed to be sold as food here in the US, compared to Europe, and that their isn’t more regulatory restrictions on what these companies can and cannot put on their package labeling. The amount of packaged garbage that signifies healthy while containing high levels of processed shit is astounding, and it’s no wonder why obesity and medical problems are endemic.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled to Europe several times, and the difference of food is night and day. I’ve actually lost weight while on vacation (though walking everywhere surely helped).
