YR FOOD: ENTRY FEE FOR ILLNESS & DEATH?

Most food we consume has been processed industrially before it reaches our table. Well appreciating taste and quantity but not necessarily the quality, in terms of biologic requirements of our body and mind. Potentially leading to dramatic health issues and premature death. Read on to learn about the details.  

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

Don’t we all love tasty food in abundance? Why not – since food, besides of physical activity, is a basic pillar of health and long life. However, there is one adjustment irreversible when it comes to food – it got to be healthy and balanced. So far so good if we orient ourselves in line with nature.
 
Unfortunate yet, most food we consume has been processed industrially before it reaches our table. Well appreciating taste and quantity but not necessarily the quality, in terms of biologic requirements of our body and mind.  
 
According to research at, inter alia, the University of Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo, Brazil, this is especially problematic with 

Ultra-processed food

​i.e. food produced industrially with substances which are coming from laboratories or extracted from foods.
 
Just to name a small excerpt of ultra-processed foods, well known to most of us, as it makes up daily diet of more than 50% of Americans:

• pre-prepared food like hot dogs/pizzas/fish sticks/chicken nuggets

• baked goods and bread prepared along with sugar/hydrogenated fats/additives
• margarine
• energy/sports drinks
• sweetened juices
• sodas
• instant/powdered soups
• ice cream produced in large quantities
• infant formulas
• sweetened yogurts
• candies/energy bars
• beverages for meal replacement

- University of Illinois in Urbana, IL

HEALTH DANGERS OF ULTRA-PROCESSED FOOD – SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED

According to research in Brazil at, inter alia,
- Universidade Federal de Bahia in Salvador 
- Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte
   &
- National School of Public Health in Rio de Janeiroultra
processed food may well cause

High blood pressure
 

​Just as  

High cholesterol​  

​Based on research at, inter alia,
- Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health in Boston, MA
- Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden
   as well as
- Universidad Autonoma de Madrid
   &
- Universidad de Zaragoza (both Spain)
 
More than that.
 
These ultra-processed foods may well cause highly debilitating health issues, such as those 2 ‘chronic’ diseases which, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) are on top responsible for 86% of non-age-related deaths and 77% of all ailments in our industrialized society: cardiovascular disease & cancer.   

Cardiovascular disease

​As research, inter alia, in France at the
- University of Paris
   &
- University of Montpellier in Montpellier
   as well as at the
- University of Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo, Brazil
   and in Italy at the
- University of Catania in Catania 
   &
- University of Insubria in Varese-Como
confirmed, high intake of ultra-processed food is a high-risk factor for all-cause death and cardiovascular death in particular.
 
Similar the situation in terms of

Cancer

With special reference to colorectal cancer which in fact is the third-leading occurrence of cancer mortality for both genders in the U.S., according to the American Cancer Society.
 
Especially with high dietary consumption of red processed meat and low consumption of whole grain and dietary fiber, the risk of developing colorectal cancer is skyrocketing by almost 30%.

Even under the age of 45, according to research at. Inter alia, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.
 
Scientifically verified by, inter alia,
- Paris 13 University in France’s capital&
- University of Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo, Brazil
    As well as the
- Saint John’s Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, CA

IN A NUTSHELL
