Ultra-processed foods and risk of all-cause mortality in renal transplant recipients

Maryse C. J. Oste et al.

Summary: High consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with all-cause mortality in renal transplant recipients, particularly sugar-sweetened beverages, desserts, and processed meats. This association is independent of low adherence to high-quality dietary patterns.

Ultra-processed foods: how functional is the NOVA system?

Veronique Braesco et al.

Summary: The study found that while some foods were consistently assigned to specific NOVA groups, overall consistency among evaluators was low, even when ingredient information was provided. This suggests that the current criteria in the NOVA classification system may not allow for robust and functional food assignments.

Perspective: Soy-based Meat and Dairy Alternatives, Despite Classification as Ultra-processed Foods, Deliver High-quality Nutrition on Par with Unprocessed or Minimally Processed Animal-based Counterparts

Mark Messina et al.

Summary: NOVA classifies soymilk and soy-based meat alternatives as ultra-processed foods, but the criticisms of UPFs do not apply to these foods when compared with their animal-based counterparts. Admonitions based on their NOVA classification may discourage the consumption of foods that offer health and environmental benefits.

Does the concept of ultra-processed foods help inform dietary guidelines, beyond conventional classification systems? YES

Carlos A. Monteiro et al.

Summary: The recommendation to choose unprocessed or minimally processed foods and freshly made meals over ultra-processed foods is gaining traction in official dietary guidelines. This recommendation is backed by research showing that a higher intake of ultra-processed foods is linked to poor-quality diets and increased risks of chronic diseases.

A conceptual framework for understanding the environmental impacts of ultra-processed foods and implications for sustainable food systems

K. Anastasiou et al.

Summary: This review examines the environmental impacts of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and identifies the terms and methods used to measure these impacts. The study found that UPFs contribute significantly to diet-related energy use, biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, food waste, and water use in high-income countries. The production and consumption of UPFs also have negative effects on land degradation, herbicide use, eutrophication, and packaging use. The findings highlight the importance of addressing the environmental degradation associated with UPFs and provide insights for food policy and future research.

2021 Dietary Guidance to Improve Cardiovascular Health: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Alice H. Lichtenstein et al.

Summary: Poor diet quality is closely linked to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and this scientific statement underscores the importance of healthy dietary patterns. Evidence-based dietary guidance includes principles such as energy balance, consuming a variety of fruits and vegetables, and choosing healthy sources of protein. Challenges to adhering to heart-healthy dietary patterns include targeted marketing of unhealthy foods and structural racism.

Categorising ultra-processed foods in large-scale cohort studies: evidence from the Nurses' Health Studies, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, and the Growing Up Today Study

Neha Khandpur et al.

Summary: This manuscript outlines the strategy for categorizing food items into the four NOVA groups based on processing levels, using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires. The four-stage approach includes creating a complete food list, assigning items to NOVA groups, consensus checking, and expert discussions for final categorization. Over 70% of items were assigned to NOVA groups and remaining items were shortlisted for further discussion. After two rounds of reviews, the majority of food items were categorized, with remaining items designated for sensitivity analyses.

Ultraprocessed food and chronic noncommunicable diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 43 observational studies

Melissa M. Lane et al.

Summary: This study found that consumption of ultraprocessed foods is associated with risks of overweight, obesity, abdominal obesity, all-cause mortality, depression, and wheezing, as well as cardiometabolic diseases, frailty, and cancer in adults. Further research is needed to define the associations between ultraprocessed food consumption and health outcomes in children and adolescents.
