A recent article in The Guardian covers new studies coming out reinforcing the dangers of diets reliant on Ultra-Processed Food (UPF). The Lancet, a prestigious and comparatively reliable medical journal has just (November 18) published a three article series reviewing the literature on health outcomes of UPF diets, as well as recommendations on policies targeted to halting the expansion of UPF worldwide. The findings reinforce previous studies (the topic was covered in the our August 2025 newsletter) finding negative effects for mental physical health.
