by A high level of ultra-processed foods can significantly increase the risk of lung cancer because the academics have warned.
An international team of researchers pursued the health and food habits of more than 100,000 US -growing people with an average age of 63 years.
After an average of 12 years, the team identified 1,706 cases of lung cancer.
Questionnaires from Food Survey revealed the consumption of UPFS, including ice cream, fried food, bread, cake, pastries, salty snacks, breakfast flakes, immediate pasta and soups, margarine, confectionery, non -alcoholic drinks, sweetened fruit drinks, Hamburger, hot dogs and pizza.
Smoke intensity
The research team listed by academics in China found that the average UPF consumption was almost three portions per day, but was between 0.5 and six.
The types of dishes with the most were lunch and soft drinks.
People who consumed the highest amounts of UPFS developed 41 percent more often lung cancer than those who consumed the slightest amount, wrote academics in the Thorax journal.
They found an increased risk for non-small cell lung cancer and lung cancer with a small cell.
The authors said they had adapted their results based on whether people smoked or not, but did not make any adjustments to the smoke intensity, which might have affected.
“The burden of lung cancer”
They emphasize that “causality cannot be determined” from their results and the data should be interpreted with caution.
“Although additional studies are justified in other population groups and environments, these results indicate the healthy advantages of limiting the UPF,” said the authors.
They added: “Referring trends of the UPF recording worldwide could help reduce the stress of lung cancer.”
In a separate study, the smoking rates of teenagers over 50 years were examined in Great Britain.
Researchers under the direction of academics of the University of Michigan in the USA examined the data for smoking 16 and 17 year olds in 1974, 1986 and 2018.
“Prevention of General Youth Nicer Consum”
They found that smoking teenagers decreased from 33 percent to 12 percent during the investigation period.
The 2018 study showed that 11 percent of older teenagers used Vapes.
The authors of the study estimate that teenagers who are Vape vape are rather smokers.
In the magazine Tobacco Control, they said that smoking with teenagers who are not vape, but with those who do so, was 1.5 percent.
“The efforts to control tobacco should continue to concentrate on the prevention of the nicotine use of general young people and especially address young people who use e-cigarettes because their risk of smoking cigarettes in the 1970s is similar,” they wrote.
However, some academic commentators said that this conclusion is “not justified”.
