Ultraprocessed food consumption and risk of gallstone disease: analysis of 3 prospective cohorts
Fans of ultra-processed foods and beverages, including sugar and artificially sweetened beverages, may have a high tendency of developing gallstones.
Can our choice of diet put us at risk of developing gallstones? A team of researchers from the United States attempted to answer the above question using dietary and health information from over 200,000 men and women.
Researchers observed that gallstones occurred at a higher rate among frequent consumers of ultra-processed foods and beverages, particularly sugar and artificially-sweetened beverages. This study highlighted the connection between ultra-processed food and beverage consumption and increased risk of gallstones.
