The study highlights how these foods, often laden with additives and low in nutritional value, contribute to poor health outcomes. Researchers urge consumers to prioritize whole, minimally processed foods to mitigate these risks and promote better health. This growing body of evidence reinforces the need for dietary changes to combat chronic diseases.
