Seventeen studies, editorials and reviews from a new UPF-focused edition of the American Journal of Public Health will also be available.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Corrective action by both industry and regulators is long overdue, said Fed UP! scientific contributor Laura Schmidt, a professor in the Institute for Health Policy Studies at the University of California San Francisco.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI started working on one of the nation\u2019s first sugary soda taxes in 2009. It\u2019s 2026, and as a society we are still not doing anything significant around this issue,\u201d Schmidt said. \u201cWe are not regulating enough chemical additives that go into ultraprocessed foods. We don\u2019t have transparency into how these foods are created. We don\u2019t have a consumer warning label.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cYet governments in South America and around the world have successfully been doing this and much more for years. In that sense, I\u2019m fed up.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            While nutritionists found US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s statements on reining in ultraprocessed food companies encouraging, experts say the few actions taken so far have been disappointing. The Make America Healthy Again or MAHA Commission promised decisive action on ultraprocessed food by August 2025. However, the final report, released in September, only promised the government would \u201ccontinue efforts\u201d to define ultraprocessed foods.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cUnfortunately, the final MAHA report is all promises and has no teeth,\u201d Barry Popkin, the W.R. Kenan Jr. Distinguished Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u2019s Gillings School of Global Public Health told CNN at the time. \u201cIn my opinion, it shows the food, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries got to the White House and won the day.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Change may be difficult, Gearhardt said, due to the enormous amount of money spent by industry on lobbying efforts. In the 23 years between 1999 and 2020, ultraprocessed food companies spent $1.15 billion on lobbying, far more than gambling ($817 million), tobacco ($755 million) or alcohol ($541 million).\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Dangers of ultraprocessed foods\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The stakes of inaction are high. Studies have shown that eating just 10% more calories a day from ultraprocessed food \u2014 that\u2019s about one serving \u2014 may be associated with a 50% higher risk of cardiovascular disease-related death. Eating more ultraprocessed foods may also be linked with a 55% greater chance of obesity and a 40% higher probability of developing type 2 diabetes.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            There are also connections between ultraprocessed foods and Alzheimer\u2019s disease and cognitive decline. A new companion study, also published Wednesday in the American Journal of Public Health, found almost a 60% higher risk of dementia for adults in the United States who ate the most ultraprocessed foods.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"62 year old 2b\" class=\"wp-image-1536\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/325ce02f5091f7b36405a7937d1bb3b4.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>62 year old 2b<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Radiological Society of North America<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Ultraprocessed foods are turning human thighs into well-marbled steaks<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>6  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cConversely, we found lower risks of cognitive impairment and dementia for high vs low consumers of minimally processed foods such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables,\u201d said senior author Cindy Leung, an associate professor of public health nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, in an email.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Yet it\u2019s hard to avoid ultraprocessed foods, as nearly 70% of foods on US grocery store shelves are highly processed.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        A link between ultraprocessed food and addiction\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Gearhardt, who specializes in food addiction, has coauthored studies that showed more than 12% of older adults in the United States \u2014 and 21% of womenages 50 to 64 are now clinically addicted to ultraprocessed food. Globally, 12% of children are addicted.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Her new study, published Wednesday in the AJPH, describes how the perfect combinations of sugars, fats and cosmetic additives can create an irresistible bite. Consumers are getting the message, she said.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=1524\">Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass punched her ticket for November\u2019s election.

Americans swallowed that message for decades, guiltily convinced their growing waistlines were due to wanton overconsumption, he said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s not consumers who are to blame for the rise in obesity and diet-related disease. It\u2019s the food,\u201d Faber said. \u201cThere\u2019s never been a more important moment for nonprofits to team up with scientists and other experts and help consumers avoid ultraprocessed foods that have been engineered to be literally irresistible.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Carla Saunders, president of the Calorie Control Council, which represents manufacturers of no- and low-calorie sweeteners, dietary fibers, and reduced-calorie ingredients, told CNN in an email that reducing public health issues to \u201cbroad narratives about processing risks rather than nutrient content oversimplifies a far more nuanced issue.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cConsumers need practical, science-based tools and a wide range of food and beverage choices that can help support healthier lifestyles, including options that add dietary fiber and reduce calories or added sugars\u200e,\u201d she said. \u201cEfforts to improve public health should focus on the totality of scientific evidence, balanced dietary patterns, transparency, education, and empowering individuals to make informed choices that work for their own health needs and lifestyles.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Growing worries over the safety of ultraprocessed foods has Americans calling for action, experts say.\" class=\"wp-image-1537\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/650e126b68a0c7d0e38c01b802ca8dfd.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/650e126b68a0c7d0e38c01b802ca8dfd.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/650e126b68a0c7d0e38c01b802ca8dfd-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Growing worries over the safety of ultraprocessed foods has Americans calling for action, experts say.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Joe Raedle\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            A spokesperson for the Consumer Brands Association, which represents most major food companies, said that its members \u201cprovide access to the information consumers need to make informed choices.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cCompanies adhere to the rigorous evidence-based safety standards and nutrition policy established by the FDA to deliver safe, affordable and convenient products that consumers depend on every day,\u201d the spokesperson said in an email.\n<\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018It shouldn\u2019t be this hard\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            EarthShare, a nonprofit charitable federation that mobilizes money from individuals, businesses and foundations, funds the Fed UP! project. Health advocacy organizations who partner with Fed UP! must be nonprofits who report no ties to industry. Scientific contributors to the Fed UP! movement must also be independent from food manufacturers and special interests.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Educational articles on the website, which were also published in the American Journal of Public Health, cover how the use of plastics by ultraprocessed food companies is harming health; how manufacturers are targeting minority and low-income youth; and how state attorneys general can use the tactics of the successful fight against tobacco companies to force change.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s important to mention not only are these experts calling for regulation, but they\u2019re also saying that we need to ensure that there\u2019s an increased level of access to minimally processed diets so that we don\u2019t lead to increased levels of food insecurity,\u201d said Nicholas Chartres, an associate professor in the University of Sydney\u2019s faculty of medicine and health and the scientific lead at UC San Francisco\u2019s Center to End Corporate Harm. Chartres, who is the associate editor of the American Journal of Public Health, was in charge of the new ultraprocessed food edition of the journal.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            This isn\u2019t the first call to action by scientists studying ultraprocessed food. In late 2025, a series of articles in the leading journal The Lancet explored the depth of industry\u2019s focus on profits at the expense of public health.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The 2025 articles were written by 43 global experts in nutrition \u2014 a number of whom are part of Fed UP! \u2014 and supported by the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund, or UNICEF, and the World Health Organization. Authors called for a global effort to regulate the industry, with methods such as food warning labels, taxation, and laws to restrict marketing and advertising, especially to children.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe food industry doesn\u2019t want to lose their cash cow, so they\u2019re willing to put millions into fighting government restrictions on ultraprocessed food as well as funding nutritionists who\u2019ll say there\u2019s no evidence of harm,\u201d UNC at Chapel Hill\u2019s Popkin told CNN at the time. Popkin coauthored two of the three Lancet articles.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Fed UP! movement focuses on the US, where ultraprocessed food has taken a strong hold. According to the US Centers for Disease and Prevention, 53% of American adults get most of their calories from ultraprocessed foods. For children ages 1 to 18, the percentage rises to 62%.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cPeople should not require a PhD in nutrition science to identify ultraprocessed foods,\u201d Gearhardt said. \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t have to be in such a massively rigged system, where we\u2019re all having to work so insanely hard to nourish our bodies \u2014 it shouldn\u2019t be this hard.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n    Get inspired by a weekly roundup on living well, made simple.
