"Risk of early death rises by nearly 3 per cent for every 10 per cent increase in calories from ultra-processed foods"

"Ultraprocessed foods could be killing more Americans than fentanyl, a new study has found.

The unhealthy food group, popularised for its convenience, often contains high levels of sugar, salt and unhealthy fats – and are believed to make up over 70 per cent of the US food supply.

Australians also consume a large amount of ultra-processed foods, also known as UPFs, with research suggesting they make up around 40 to 42 per cent of their daily energy intake." [MORE]:

What a horrible web site. I guess I'm too retarded to figure out where the article is, so I had to search.

Study is very hard to understand for a layperson.

From a first glance, it looks like they took the percent of Ultra processed foods consumed and then made a magic "percent" of premature deaths to attribute to that - with no actual pathology to match?

Brazil seems like the outlier that disproves the rule, with a very low percent of processed food consumption, yet an enormous premature death population.

If the totality of Brazil's premature deaths was explained, I would give the study a bit more credibility.

I wonder what the standard meal is at chef @JohnGaltsPetRooster 's joint?

A typical dangus meal:
