Two new studies don't prove that ultraprocessed foods, like frozen meals, canned foods, sugary cereals, and reconstituted meats, harm health, but do add to mounting evidence linking products to a host of health problems.

“I think the growing body of literature focusing on ultraprocessed foods is tying lots things together,” said Dr. Rekha Kumar, an assistant professor of medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine and medical director of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Kumar was not involved with the new research.

Indeed, the new studies highlight “an alarming trend,” said Dr. Erin Michos, an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology and associate director of the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.,” Michos, who also was not involved with the new research, told NBC News. “That’s what we evolved to eat, and not stuff produced in a laboratory and designed to last on a shelf for a decade.

The researchers from the French study — Mathilde Touvier, director of the Nutritional Epidemiology Research Team at the University of Paris 13, and Bernard Srour, a member of that team — agreed. While ultraprocessed foods may be convenient and fast, it’s possible to substitute healthier alternatives, senior author Touvier and lead author Srour told NBC News in an email.

“It does not take very long to use frozen fish and vegetables … and a serving of whole grain pasta,” they said. “It’s delicious and only takes 10 minutes to cook.”

I’ll have to take a technical class to understand the nuances between “won’t harm you” and “linked to all sorts of health disorders”. Nice headline NBC. Do you mean the Frozen dinner won’t pull a gun and shoot you?

So basically no conclusion, did Mueller do the report?

What’s this got to do with racism?

All that tweet did was make me really want to eat some hotdogs.

Everything is bad for you except for plain steamed broccoli. But actually, even that might kill you.

Well duh
