Processed Food Linked to Risk of Cancer

Ultra-processed foods include packaged baked goods and snacks, fizzy drinks, sugary cereals, ready meals and reconstituted meat products - often containing high levels of sugar, fat, and salt, but lacking in vitamins and fiber. Foods were grouped according to a degree of processing and cases of cancer were identified from participants' declarations validated by medical records and national databases over an average of five years.
