They make up more than 70% of the U.S. food supply. Think of them as foods you can't make at home: stuff that is industrially-produced and may contain things like added colors or preservatives.

A new clinical study led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is set to explore the health impacts and mechanisms behind ultra-processed foods, which are prevalent in the American diet. The study, announced on April 1, 2024, will investigate how these foods affect the body, potentially leading to chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Researchers aim to understand the biological and physiological effects of ultra-processed foods by comparing them to minimally processed foods in a controlled setting.
