LONDON (Reuters) -Ultra-processed foods are a major public health threat that must be urgently addressed, according to a new series of papers authored by 43 global experts in the Lancet medical journal. The scientists, including the Brazilian professor who coined the term with colleagues around 15 years ago, argue that UPFs are now increasingly common worldwide and linked to a decline in diet quality and a number of diseases, from obesity to cancer. “It’s about the evidence we [...]

A Lancet series on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) released on Wednesday warned that their rise in human diets is fueling chronic diseases worldwide and damaging public health. It blamed the rise in UPFs on powerful global corporations “who employ sophisticated political tactics to protect and maximise profits” and called on governments to adopt policies to regulate the production, promotion and consumption of these foods. According to the Lancet series, in a systematic review of [...]

Ultra-processed foods are increasing in diets around the world and could be displacing fresh and minimally processed meals, worsening diet quality and driving the global burden of chronic diseases, according to papers published in The Lancet journal. Through the three studies, published as part of The Lancet ’Ultra-processed Foods and Human Health’ series, researchers argue that an immediate and decisive public health action is required to tackle ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and [...]

NEW DELHI: The rise of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in human diets is damaging public health, fuelling chronic diseases from obesity, diabetes to cancer worldwide, and deepening health inequalities, said the new Lancet series released on Wednesday. The series on Ultra-Processed Foods and Human Health stressed that addressing this challenge requires a unified global response that confronts corporate power and transforms food systems to promote healthier, more sustainable diets. According [...]

A promising advancement in the field of Alzheimer's disease treatment has emerged from a research team at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in Brazil. Utilizing a multi-faceted approach that combines computer-based modeling, in vitro tests with cell cultures, and in vivo experiments with animals, the scientists have developed a new chemical compound with potential therapeutic effects against the neurodegenerative condition. The research, supported by the São Paulo Research [...]

New Lancet papers say rising UPF consumption is linked to multiple chronic illnesses and call for urgent policy action. A major international review published in The Lancet has warned that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) now represent a serious threat to global public health, urging governments to intervene urgently.

Researchers at the University of São Paulo's Ribeirão Preto School of Pharmaceutical Sciences (FCFRP-USP) in Brazil have made a groundbreaking discovery that the venom of an Amazonian scorpion species, Brotheas amazonicus, may hold the key to developing new treatments for breast cancer, a leading cause of mortality among women. The team identified a specific molecule within the scorpion's toxin that exhibits properties similar to those of a commonly used chemotherapy [...]
