Experts do research on nutrition. Vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables provide effective results for long life. It makes the body work better. A diet high in highly processed foods can have serious consequences, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
He linked these foods to increased risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, as well as all-cause death.
RISK OF EARLY DEATH MORE THAN 10 PERCENT
Specifically, it concluded that greater consumption of these foods was associated with more than 10 percent of all-cause early, preventable deaths in Brazil in 2019.
THESE FOODS CONTAIN DANGEROUS ADDITIVES
Ultra-processed foods are industrial formulations of substances derived from foods (oils, fats, sugars, starch, protein isolates), containing “no or very little whole food” and often added with flavors, colors, emulsifiers and other additives for cosmetic purposes.

ULTRA PROCESSED FOODS ARE THE culprit of EARLY DEATH
Researchers at the University of São Paulo found that consumption of ultra-processed foods was responsible for nearly 57,000 premature deaths among 541,160 Brazilian adults aged 30 to 69 in 2019.
AVOIDING THEM CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF EARLY DEATH BY 21 PERCENT
In a media release, lead researcher Eduardo AF Nilson explained: “Consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with many disease outcomes, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, some cancers and other diseases, and represents a major cause of preventable diseases. Even reducing consumption of ultra-processed foods to levels just a decade ago would reduce associated premature deaths by 21 percent.
