Due to their high sugar content and synthetic ingredients, ultra-processed foods represent a serious risk, even increased mortality, an Italian study revealed.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Ultra-processed foods increase the risk of death” is what the recent Italian research \u201cMoli-sani\u201d<\/a> supported, evaluating the association between consumption of ultra-processed foods<\/strong> and the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular diseases<\/strong> mortality. The study also tested which nutritional factors and biological mechanisms may potentially be at the basis of such association.<\/p>\n#UltraProcessed #PlantBased #foods increase the premature risk of #death. This was revealed by the Italian #research #Molisani. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

In the large sample of 22,475 men and women in the Molise region followed for more than eight years, those who recorded the highest consumption of ultra-processed foods<\/strong> showed a 26% higher risk of premature mortality<\/strong>. In particular, 58% higher risk of ischemic heart diseases and a 52% higher risk of cerebrovascular diseases, such as strokes.<\/p>\n

The main reason seems to be related to the high sugar content<\/strong> of these hyper-processed foods, responsible for 40% of the increased risk. At the same time, other nutritional factors, such as saturated fats<\/strong>, were not held accountable, as other studies<\/a> showed. According to the authors, on the remaining 60% of the causes, industrial processes alter the original properties of food, forming harmful substances to health.<\/p>\n#Hyperprocessed products, like the #Soy-based #MeatSubstitutes, have many #additives and undergo deep processing. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n

Examples are the hyper-processed plant-based products<\/strong>, such as soy-based meat substitutes<\/a>, which have a long list of additives and undergo deep processing to try to imitate as much as possible the appearance and taste of meat<\/strong> at the expense of health. These alarming results should be an incentive to avoid the consumption of ultra-processed foods and to encourage that one of natural foods, with minimal industrial transformation.<\/p>\n

It is better to avoid the famous veg burgers with their synthetic ingredients, bragging properties that they do not have. And to go back to nature with an authentic steak<\/strong>, made only of pure and genuine meat<\/strong>. The battle against Meat Sounding<\/a> is still underway.<\/p>\n
