Ultra processed foods poor diet link

Perhaps unsurprisingly, a new study highlights that a diet high in ultra processed foods leads to poorer diet and an increase in eating disorders.

UPF intake was positively associated with binge eating and bulimia symptoms measured by BITE, emotional eating, external eating, and uncontrolled eating. These findings suggest that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with eating behaviors characterized by reduced self-regulation and heightened responsiveness to emotional and environmental cues.

High intake of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been linked to increased prevalence of obesity, overweight, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, anxiety, depression, and all-cause mortality.
