Question:
Are there no rules or regulations controlling the sale of ultra-processed foods? Surely, if they are such a danger to health, as articles I have read in Nutrition and elsewhere suggest, they should be regulated. Does responsibility for buying such foods lie solely with the consumer?
Answer:
Greater consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with an increased risk of certain cancers, according to a review published in. Yet the portion sizes and popularity of these highly profitable food products continue to grow globally, leading to tangible effects on our health.
