“Ultra-Processed Foods and Early-Onset Colorectal Neoplasia (<50 yrs)
A new prospective study from the Nurses’ Health Study II (29,105 women <50) delivers an important message:
Women with the highest intake of ultraprocessed foods had a 45% higher risk of early-onset conventional adenomas vs the lowest intake group.
No association was seen for serrated lesions.
UPFs made up ~35% of daily calories in this cohort.
Even after adjusting for BMI, diabetes, fiber, folate, calcium, vitamin D, and overall diet quality, the association with conventional adenomas persisted.
Takeaway: Reducing UPF intake may be a meaningful strategy to curb the rising tide of early-onset colorectal tumorigenesis.”
