A student is reseаrching the negаtive heаlth effects оf prоcessed fоods. The student finds the following from an article on the nih.gov website. “Ultra-Processed Foods Are Not ‘Real Food’ but Really Affect Your Health,” by Amelia Marti Poor eating habits, such as the increasing consumption of highly processed products, have deleterious effects on health status and represent a serious challenge for public health systems. They are not “real food” but formulations of food substances often modified by chemical processes and then assembled into ready-to-consume hyper-palatable food (cosmetic food). In this group, a large variety of industrially processed food products, such as savory snacks, reconstituted meat products, pre-prepared frozen dishes, and soft drinks among other food items, are included. . . .  Notably, two large European cohort studies reported positive associations between consumption of ultra-processed foods and cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in adults. First, Srour et al. showed an association between an absolute 10% increase in dietary ultra-processed food and significantly higher rates of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Secondly, Rico-Campa et al. found that a higher consumption of ultra-processed foods (>4 servings daily) was independently associated with a 62% relatively increased hazard for all-cause mortality in 19,899 participants of the SUN study. Which of the following information is most important to quote directly from this article?
