Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Long-Term Risk of Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Large-Scale Prospective Cohort Study
Indulgence in ultra-processed foods may foster the development of irritable bowel syndrome in men and women.
This study set out to clarify the ultra-processed food consumption-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) connection theory. Researchers surveyed the diet and health of 178,711 UK men and women over an 11-year period. A total of 2,690 participants was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome throughout the duration of the study.
Researchers discovered that lovers of ultra-processed foods faced increased risk of developing irritable bowel syndrome. This study suggested that high dietary ingestion of ultra-processed foods may set the stage for the development of irritable bowel syndrome.
