Some people wrongly thought some foods were healthy - but in fact may increase the risk of deadly cardiovascular diseases, scientists found
Foods in the typical British diet may increase the risk of deadly cardiovascular diseases, two new studies have found. In twin presentations to the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology in Amsterdam, researchers revealed the consumption of ultra-processed food such as cereals, fizzy drinks and fast food, significantly raises the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.
“If there is something inherent in the processing of foods that is harmful, then that is a disaster. Britain is particularly bad for ultra-processed food. It is storing up problems for the future. If we do nothing, a tidal wave of harm is going to hit the NHS.” She added that many people assumed some UPF, such as store-bought sandwiches, wraps, soups and low-fat yoghurts, were healthier choices when compared to junk food. Ms Pant and her fellow researchers from the University of Sydney studied the impact of the increased consumption of UPF on more than 10,000 middle-aged women during the last 15 years.
