Abstract in brief

  • The rise in the availability and consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in the global diet appears to be linked to a surge in obesity and noncommunicable diseases worldwide.
  • UPFs are industrially processed products, and their increased intake may have negative impacts on human health.
  • The correlation between the growth of UPF consumption and health issues suggests that reducing intake could potentially improve health outcomes.]
