New studies have expressed worry that the ultra-processed foods possibly have the link with the cancer risk.
Ultra-processed food is generally industrialized and usually contains a mixture of chemicals and preservatives.
High consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with the greater number of general cancer cases as well as cancer deaths.
These can speed up cancer by different mechanisms such as their obesogenic nature, decreased nutrient value, and the food additives and impurities.
Growing occurrence of cancer can be controlled with the promotion of the minimally processed foods in place of processed and ultra-processed foods.
We need more research, but the existing proof indicates that a diet containing fresh foods along with a minimal level of processing can cut down the risk of cancer.
