      US study finds no overall colorectal cancer link to ultra-processed foods

      A new study from the US National Cancer Institute examines the link between ultra-processed foods and colorectal cancer. Overall ultra-processed food consumption was not associated with an increased incidence of colorectal cancer. Higher intakes of wholegrains and dairy were linked to a lower incidence, while processed meat correlated with a higher risk. The findings suggest a need to consider food types rather than categorizing all processed foods as harmful.
