Study finds what happens to your body when you eat too many ultra

Washington DC [US], September 27 (ANI): Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrially altered products – like soda, snacks and processed meats – packed with additives and stripped of nutrients.

Hundreds of new ingredients, previously unknown to the human body, now make up nearly 60 per cent of the average adult’s diet and almost 70% of children’s diets in the United States.

These products reduce nutritional value, extend shelf life, and tend to increase how much people consume.
