Shafaqna English- Reducing your intake of ultra-processed food may reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes. The study investigated the relationship between the degree of food processing and type 2 diabetes risk, including which kinds of UPFs were highest risk.
The researchers found that every 10% increase in the amount of ultra-processed foods in a person’s diet is linked with a 17% increase in type 2 diabetes risk, but this risk can be lowered by consuming less processed foods instead.
The highest risk UPF groups were savory snacks, animal-based products such as processed meats, ready meals, and sugar-sweetened and artificially-sweetened beverages.
