Global Premature Deaths Linked to Ultraprocessed Food?

The article from Medscape discusses a study that found a significant association between the consumption of ultraprocessed foods and an increased risk of premature death.

The findings underscore the importance of reducing the consumption of these foods to improve public health outcomes and prevent premature mortality.
