Massive study of 460,000 people challenges ultra-processed food cancer fears

A massive study involving more than 460,000 Americans is challenging assumptions about ultra-processed foods and colorectal cancer. Researchers found that eating more ultra-processed food (UPF) was not associated with a higher overall incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the findings revealed an important distinction: Some types of ultra-processed foods were linked to lower cancer rates, while others were associated with higher rates.
