2 large studies were released today which found that eating a lot of highly-processed foods is associated with an increased risk of heart disease & death from all causes. Hence the dramatic “ultra-processed foods will kill you” headlines. 📰
Ultra-processed food is defined as is food which is “made predominantly or entirely from industrial substances & contains little or no whole foods. These products are ready to eat, drink, or heat”. One of the authors of this study said: "if a product contains more than 5 ingredients, it is probably ultra-processed."
Important Considerations:
⭐️ The above definition is fairly broad & could include healthy foods like wholegrain bread, wholegrain crackers, wholegrain cereals, shop-bought hummus and certain yoghurts (all of which are nutritious & convenient options).
⭐️ Context matters: there are plenty of situations where processed foods have a really important role e.g. for some people who have limited cooking skills or equipment, who are short on time or who have a physical disability.
⭐️ We need to think about the WHY with nutrition, not just the WHAT - this involves tackling the social reasons of why groups of people need to rely on processed food (e.g. finances, access, equipment, education etc).
⭐️ Food processing can be really important for food safety & can make food more nutritious by fortifying it with specific nutrients. Over the years this has also played a big role in liberating women from time consuming food prep (which contributed to being able to work outside the home).
So What Should We Take From This?
It is healthiest for most of our diet to be made up of less processed foods like fruit, vegetables, wholegrains, nuts, seeds, milk, natural yoghurt, eggs, fresh fish and meat etc.
BUT that doesn’t mean that all processed foods are bad - so these should be chosen on a case by case basis. You can look at the label & choose options with less sugar, salt & saturated fat most of the time, but nothing needs to be off-limits completely & we shouldn’t associate guilt with anything that we eat.

Pneumonia is a significant risk in individuals with severe malnutrition and this is an unfortunate case out of the UK where a patient was left without nutrition for a total of 19 days. As often with these cases, it appears a mix of poor communication between the MDT and the family and carers as well as a prolonged delay between escalation of nutritional care from NGT to PEG.
