So wait, RFK is right then and Trump right to appoint him as Health secretary?

[laplata]

Yes, RFK, Jr. is a very good fit for the position.

[Jim W N]

So wait, RFK is right then and Trump right to appoint him as Health secretary?

No, politicians are not doctors or health experts.

GET GOV'T OUT OF HEALTHCARE WHERE THEY CONSITUTIONALLY DON'T BELONG!!!

[C210N]

could be because these foods contain high levels of fat, salt and sugar.

The truth: Remove the sugar, and eat all the salt and fat to your desires.

Yes, according to fakenews BBC citing junk science.
So maybe, in my book.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Define Ultra-Processed.

And no, the definition in the Pedophiles R Us does not suffice.

[LouAvul]

Re the named foods. Like many things, moderation. Sodas. Ice cream. Spam, deviled ham, vienna sausage. Consume them rarely.

First I've heard of biscuits as ultra processed food. I'll eat bake-at-home biscuits (from the little cardboard roll) maybe twice a month. But I think the author is referring to something else?

[Lizavetta]

Being fat and sedentary will kill you sooner than processed foods will.

Get off your ass, plug in your iPod and MOVE. Walk. Get going. Do something.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Processed meats, biscuits, fizzy drinks, ice cream and some breakfast cereals are examples

Did we really need a study to tell us that eating ice cream and junk food may lead to an early death? Also, gotta love the clickbait headline.

[Vendome]

I guarantee you all those people with maladies eat way to much processed good.

In-and-out hamburger doesn’t count.

[Sirius Lee]

Stay the hell away from the center aisles in grocery stores, except for maybe the canned veggies and baking aisle ( flour, walnuts…)

[zeestephen]

Get out of my kitchen, RFK!

In the USA, Big Boys and Big Girls get to choose their own food.

[faucetman]

All these “reports” of things both bad and good for you are overstated. Just like new discoveries, new drugs or studies on health.

“Ultra-processed foods may be linked to early DEATH”

DEATH all caps, but “may be” lower case.

It is just as true to say “Ultra-processed foods may NOT be linked to early death”.

New drug MAY lower your risk of CANCER by 10% (TEN per cent) studies in mice show.

Eat lots of greens and you could see a 1% lowering of your blood pressure. WHOOPIE DO!

Eat, drink, and take things you don’t like/hate and you might live a few months longer. (or get hit by a car driven by an illegal alien gang member tomorrow)

OR enjoy life to the fullest for ALL the life you get!

Best part of a comment made on this site in months!

It is all about quality of life not quantity of life.
Living on Kale and sprouts, doesn’t inspire me.
A cold 12 pack and some Chicken nuggets/with honey DO!

[Macoozie]

“People who eat lots of ultra-processed foods (UPF) may be at greater risk of dying early”

Whodathunkit?

[Vermont Lt]

“People who play Russian Roulette are at higher risk for sudden death.”

Kind of the same thing.

[Uncle Miltie]

Was there a control group?

Double blind protocol?

Repeatability?

Or is this just another Shiite “association is causation” piece of garbage?

What if people who eat crap food also don’t exercise, and it’s the lack of exercise that is killing them?

Poor people eat crap food. What if they also don’t go to the doctor?

I could go on all day.

Criminey! This is just junk food”science”.

“5 ingredients “ magical thinking?

Pah!!!!

[logi_cal869]

So does unlimited illegal entry of mooslims, bbc.

Don’t deflect.. RFK has failed his role thus far.

And a bbc article on the patently obvious to make a point? C’mon, man.
