Overview

A new study found that eating ultra-processed meals raised the incidence of type 2 diabetes as a dose-response impact, with moderate to high evidence of believability. The findings of this study were published in the International Journal of Epidemiology.

Consumption of certain food categories has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes. However, there is no evidence from meta-analyses that assesses the risk of diabetes associated with the intake of ultra-processed food. Therefore, this study was conducted by Felipe Mendes Delpino and the team with the objective to conduct a systematic review of the literature on the relationship between ultra-processed food intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes, and to quantify this risk using a meta-analysis.
