European cardiology report links ultra processed foods to increased cardiovascular disease and death

Ultra processed foods are linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death. A European cardiology report consolidates research showing increased risks of heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and cardiovascular death with high UPF consumption. These foods also worsen obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Experts urge doctors to discuss UPF intake with patients and advise reduction, as current guidelines often overlook food processing's impact on health.
