New Studies Suggest Ultra-Processed Foods Lead to Cancer—Here’s What You Need to Know
explains that some foods deemed “processed” may vary in their nutritional value. For example, the NOVA nutritional rating system used in the second study considered things like soy milk and protein powder as ultra-processed, but these can be healthy additions to the diet. In the context of the noted studies, researchers looked for a connection between foods considered ultra-processed and unfavorable health outcomes.
After 24 to 28 years of following up, researchers found 3,216 cases of colorectal cancer in both men and women. Compared to the men in the lowest fifth of ultra-processed food consumption, men in the highest fifth had a 29% higher risk of developing colorectal cancer.
The study did find that those who had ultra-processed foods that included more ready-to-eat products of meat, poultry, and seafood and sugar-sweetened beverages among men and ready-to-eat/heat-mixed dishes among women also had an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Researchers found that the sub-group of processed foods that include yogurt and dairy-based desserts actually improved the risk of colorectal cancer in women.
“One of the things that we know from yogurt, in particular, is that it’s fermented, which can benefit the gut microbiome,” explains Feller. The gut’s overall health can impact many functions , but Feller notes that feeding your gut microbiome these favorable bacteria from yogurt can specifically improve inflammation, which is linked to colorectal health.
