Marcus Munafò, a professor at the University of Bristol, notes that there is a well-established link between consuming ultra-processed food and negative health effects. However, it is important to determine if this association is causal. To do so, Munafò suggests that researchers need to move beyond just conducting larger studies and instead focus on interventions to better understand the impact of ultra-processed foods on health outcomes. This approach will help to provide more definitive evidence on whether or not these types of foods directly contribute to adverse health effects.
