Ultra-processed foods are linked to 32 health problems, including cardiovascular disease, cancers and type 2 diabetes.
That's according to a new study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) that investigates the harms of foods that typically include five or more ingredients and some additives.
According to the British Heart Association, common ultra-processed foods include ice cream, chips, breakfast cereals, fruit yoghurt.
An international team of researchers from Australia, the US, France and Ireland contributed to the review of 45 analyzes involving a total population of 9.8 million participants.
