Ultra-processed foods and cardiovascular disease: analysis of three large US prospective cohorts and a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

Likeness for ultra-processed foods may fuel the development of stroke, cardiovascular, and coronary heart disease in men and women.

This study set out to unravel the puzzle linking ultra-processed food intake with the development of cardiovascular disease. Researchers sifted through nutritional and health data extracted from more than 200,000 US men and women who participated in 22 studies. 

Researchers noticed that devout consumption of ultra-processed foods resulted in a hike in stroke, cardiovascular, and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in men and women. The results of this study indicate that preference for ultra-processed foods may promote the development of stroke, cardiovascular, and coronary heart disease.
