Ultra Processed Foods and Human Health

Propose a Topic

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) comprise foods that have undergone extensive industrial processing, ranging from the addition of sweeteners and emulsifiers to the formation of chemicals during preparation and packaging. UPFs are intended to be more palatable and appealing to consumers, with longer lasting shelf times. Due to UPF being easy to find and consume, their consumption has increased significantly and alarmingly worldwide over the past two decades. The purpose of this Topic is to delve into the association between UPF consumption and non-communicable diseases. Original articles as well as review manuscripts aiming to shed light on the relationship between UPFs and the development of non-communicable disorders are more than welcome in this Topic.
