Avoid these 'ultraprocessed' foods and you might live longer

***A study published Monday revealed an alarming statistic: Eating a lot of unhealthy, "ultraprocessed" foods may shorten your life. Specifically,

researchers found that a 10% increase in the consumption of ultraprocessed foods was significantly associated with a 14% higher

risk of death from all causes.*** Ultraprocessed foods you should limit

The source of this food category is the NOVA food classification system – a tool for nutrition and public health research, policy and action that was used in the study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. It categorizes foods according to the nature, extent and purpose of processing. Here’s a list of some common ultraprocessed foods:

  • Carbonated drinks
  • Sweet or savory packaged snacks
  • Ice cream :naraz:
  • Candies (confectionery)
  • Margarines and spreads
  • Cookies, pastries and cakes :smack:
  • Cereal bars
  • “Fruit”-flavored drinks
  • Cocoa drinks :disgust:
  • Meat and chicken extracts
  • “Instant” sauces
  • “Health” and “slimming” products such as powdered or “fortified” meal and dish substitutes
  • Pre-made pies, pasta and pizza dishes
  • Poultry and fish “nuggets” and “sticks”
  • Sausages
  • Burgers
  • Hot dogs
  • Powdered and packaged “instant” soups, noodles and desserts

So will have to start making Ice Cream, cookies and cakes from scratch at home! :bummer:

I think cookies, pastries and cakes from local bakeries won't be ultra processed.

I already avoid the following :

  • Carbonated drinks
  • Margarines
  • Cereal bars
  • “Fruit”-flavored drinks
  • Cocoa drinks :disgust:
  • Meat and chicken extracts
  • “Health” and “slimming” products such as powdered or “fortified” meal and dish substitutes
  • Pre-made pies, pasta and pizza dishes
  • Poultry and fish “nuggets” and “sticks”
  • Sausages
  • Burgers
  • Hot dogs
  • Powdered and packaged “instant” soups, noodles and desserts

How about homemade pasta and pizza? I love pasta and pizza but I eat homemade stuff mostly.

I remember the days we did not have refrigerator and everything bought on the day it was cooked!

Yep, yep...until you get run over by a bus.

I guess if it is truly homemade that it’s okay. As for me, my family hasn’t ordered pizza or any processed food for almost 10 years. I discovered so many delicious pizza recipes and decided to cook it by myself. I won’t compare was it worth in money, but at least I’m sure what ingredients were used (high-quality bacon, parmesan and blue cheese, for example). We mostly cook outside at the backyard with a portable pizza oven as https://pizzaovenradar.com/ advised (works on propane).
