A growing body of research links ultraprocessed foods to an array of cancers and, in some cases, to cognitive decline.
People who eat more highly processed foods such as ice cream, fast food and salty snacks could face an increased risk of cancer, especially ovarian cancer and breast cancer, researchers have found.
A study of more than 197,000 U.K. adults ages 40 to 69 was published this week by the Lancet, a peer-reviewed medical journal. The authors said this is one of the biggest sample sizes ever used to research the effects on health of ultraprocessed foods. Some of those additives, known as endocrine disruptors, affect the human body’s endocrine or hormonal system, which can lead to obesity and to a higher risk of hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast and ovarian cancers, said Jeanine Genkinger, associate professor of epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University in New York. Genkinger was not involved in the study.
Over the years, the authors observed that every 10-percentage-point increase in consumption of ultraprocessed foods was associated with an increased risk of cancer overall, as well as with higher mortality rates from ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Food deserts One reason: In the U.S., one in five Black households is located in a “food desert” — an area where it’s difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food — according to a report published by the consulting firm McKinsey & Co.in 2021.
And because the higher consumption of processed foods can lead to long-term health issues, Genkinger said, “individuals who are more vulnerable or disadvantaged are going to be more vulnerable.” But, she noted, “ultraprocessed foods [are] cheaper and easier to prepare.”
