Deep dives
Impact of Ultra-Processed Foods on Gut Health
The consumption of ultra-processed foods significantly increases the risk of developing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), with studies showing an 8% higher risk for every 10% increment in intake. Currently, about 60% of the average diet consists of these processed foods, leading to an estimated 48% increase in IBS risk simply due to diet. This dietary imbalance, characterized by overindulgence in unhealthy options and underconsumption of nutrient-dense foods, contributes to nutrient deficiencies that further disrupt gut health. Consequently, the relationship between dietary habits and gut issues highlights the importance of prioritizing whole foods to mitigate IBS symptoms.
