Name a common condition \u2014 heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, cancer, dementia, irritable bowel syndrome \u2014 and chances are good that following a diet high in ultraprocessed foods has been linked to it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the ultraprocessed food category is large and wide-ranging. It makes up an estimated 73 percent of the U.S. food supply, and contains stereotypically \u201cunhealthy\u201d products like sodas, candies and hot dogs as well as seemingly \u201chealthy\u201d ones like whole grain breads, breakfast cereals, flavored yogurts and plant milks.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a \u201chodgepodge of foods,\u201d some of which are likely more harmful than others, said Josiemer Mattei, an associate professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Dr. Mattei and her colleagues published one of the largest and longest studies on ultraprocessed foods and heart health<\/a> to date. In it, they analyzed the risks of consuming these foods, and teased out the worst offenders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
