Keeping it simple also keeps it healthy.

And saves money.

Ultra processed food is destroying our health.

It’s making us weak, dumb, inflamed, fat, and depressed, ultimately taking years off our lives.

Objective:
Ketogenic and Vegan diets have become increasingly popular. The rising popularity of these dietary trends has been met in kind by the food industry producing a variety of specialty ultra-processed foods (UPFs). Despite increasing popularity, the cost and nutrient profile of vegan and ketogenic diets that rely on UPF specialty products is poorly understood. We aimed to assess the cost and nutrient profile of vegan and ketogenic diets that relied primarily on UPFs and compare this to those that relied primarily on whole foods.

Design:
We designed and calculated the cost of four one-day meal plans for a hypothetical weight-stable adult female. Two meal plans were created for the vegan-style and ketogenic-style diets respectively with one of each being predominantly whole-food based and the other constituting primarily of UPFs. Carbohydrates were limited to ≤50g, protein was set at 15-20%, and fat ≥75% for the ketogenic meal plans. Carbohydrates were set between 45-65%, protein 15-25% and fat 20-35% for the vegan meal plans. FoodWorks dietary analysis software was used to assess data against the national Australian/New Zealand nutrient reference value (NRV) value for adult females and cost was calculated using Countdown online shopping (a local New Zealand supermarket).

Setting:
New Zealand.

Participants:
None.

Results:
The whole-food-based meal plans met a greater proportion of the macro and micronutrient thresholds and were less costly when compared with the specialty-based meal plans.

Conclusions:
This study demonstrates that well-planned, predominantly whole-food diets (regardless of dietary trend) are nutritionally superior and more cost-effective than those that rely on UPFs.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods and risk of multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases: a multinational cohort study

November 2023The Lancet Regional Health - Europe


Abstract
Background It is currently unknown whether ultra-processed foods (UPFs) consumption is associated with a higher incidence of multimorbidity. We examined the relationship of total and subgroup consumption of UPFs with the risk of multimorbidity defined as the co-occurrence of at least two chronic diseases in an individual among first cancer at any site, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Methods This was a prospective cohort study including 266,666 participants (60% women) free of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes at recruitment from seven European countries in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study. Foods and drinks consumed over the previous 12 months were assessed at baseline by food-frequency questionnaires and classified according to their degree of processing using Nova classification. We used multistate modelling based on Cox regression to estimate cause-specific hazard ratios (HR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) for associations of total and subgroups of UPFs with the risk of multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases. Findings After a median of 11.2 years of follow-up, 4461 participants (39% women) developed multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases. Higher UPF consumption (per 1 standard deviation increment, ∼260 g/day without alcoholic drinks) was associated with an increased risk of multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases (HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.12). Among UPF subgroups, associations were most notable for animal-based products (HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.12), and artificially and sugar-sweetened beverages (HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.12). Other subgroups such as ultra-processed breads and cereals (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94, 1.00) or plant-based alternatives (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.91, 1.02) were not associated with risk. Interpretation Our findings suggest that higher consumption of UPFs increases the risk of cancer and cardiometabolic multimorbidity.

Results: A total of 5 studies involving 617,502 adults and elderly people were included. All studies had a cohort design and were considered of high methodological quality. Of the included studies, 4 demonstrated a risk association between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and the development of Alzheimer’s disease, while 1 study showed a risk association only with the development of cognitive decline.

Results
After 18 years of follow-up, we documented 312 deaths (36.5% of CVD and 25.6% of cancer). Compared with participants in the lowest tertile of UPF consumption, those in the highest tertile showed 40% higher risk of all-cause mortality, HR 1.40 (95%CI: 1.04-1.90), and evidence of a higher CVD mortality, HR 1.39 (95%CI: 0.80-2.41) and of cancer mortality, HR 1.53 (95%CI: 0.83-2.82).

Koukussa kolaan
Leena on ollut jo vuosikausia koukussa kolajuomaan. Hän juo sitä pakonomaisesti, paljon ja päivittäin. Jäljet näkyvät terveydessä ja erityisesti hampaissa, mutta Leena ei koe saavansa tilanteeseen apua. Onko kola- tai sokeririippuvuus oikea vai kuviteltu ongelma?
