Americans Addicted to Processed Foods That Could Cause Cancer: New Studies
New York Post ^ | 1/31 | Brooke Kato

Posted on 01/31/2023 5:58:17 PM PST by nickcarraway

New research from the Imperial College’s School of Public Health shows that “ultra-processed foods” are linked to an increased risk of developing cancer.

The London researchers classified ultra-processed foods as products like carbonated drinks, cereals, mass-produced and packaged bread and pre-packaged meals. The study authors noted that such foods are typically not ingredients used in household cooking but instead are made up of “derived ingredients,” such as high fructose corn syrup or modified starch.

They discovered that those who consumed convenience food items were potentially at a higher risk of developing life-threatening cancers after studying 200,000 middle-aged participants over the course of a decade.

The UK study, which was published in eClinicalMedicine, concluded that ovarian and brain cancers were more likely to develop in people who ate the food, while ovarian and breast cancers were more likely to kill them.

Worthless idiots with worthless diplomas can’t find jobs so they get government grants to do worthless “studies” that will be overturned in four or five years. “Nevermind”.

People just don’t cook for themselves anymore. We eat very little fast food, and most meals cooked from scratch because that’s what we’ve been doing for 50+ years.

Who cares. If you make it to 75 years, you did as much as you need to.

I think there is quite a bit of “old research” that shows what this “new research” is saying.

If you lived as these crap articles suggest you live, you’ll be living as an aesthetic monk with no joys in life. I’d rather knock off a few years enjoying my life than maximize my lifespan by living the most unenjoyable life that these people can create.

So, I’m being serious. I’m not wishing anybody dead, but rather I’m wishing everybody have a good time in life.

Much of the food Americans are eating isn’t food & isn’t fit for human consumption.

It also destroys the brain. Signs all around.
