Two researchers recently presented data on the health risks associated with these products.
In 2010, Brazilian epidemiologist Dr Carlos Monteiro, scientific coordinator of the Nutritional Epidemiology Research Center at the University of São Paulo in Brazil, gained global recognition for developing the NOVA classification.
In addition, Monteiro presented a study of his own, which is under peer review. The results suggest that ultraprocessed food currently provides close to or more than half of the calories in the diets of developed countries such as Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In middle-income countries, consumption is also significant but in smaller, though increasing, proportions .
Hall's study was designed to investigate whether diets rich in ultraprocessed food influence excessive consumption and weight gain."We conducted a study at our clinical center, involving 20 people with stable weight. For a month, we monitored their food environment, randomizing them into two groups that were exposed to a diet consisting almost entirely of ultraprocessed food ," said Hall.
