00:00Cancer risk rises with consumption of common food type, study finds.

00:05Lung cancer is the top cancer killer worldwide. A major study found that eating more ultra-processed

00:11foods may raise lung cancer risk, even after accounting for smoking and other factors.

00:19Ultra-processed foods like snacks, sodas, and instant meals are nutrient-poor and heavily

00:25processed, replacing wholesome staples and possibly raising long-term lung cancer risk.

00:34Researchers studied over 101,000 U.S. adults for 12 years, finding higher lung cancer rates among

00:41those eating more ultra-processed foods, even after adjusting for smoking and lifestyle factors.

00:50People who ate the most ultra-processed foods had a 41 percent higher lung cancer risk,

00:55even after accounting for smoking and lifestyle, showing a clear dose-response link that warrants

00:59public health attention.

01:04Even after adjusting for smoking, high ultra-processed

01:08food intake was linked to greater lung cancer risk, even among non-smokers,

01:12highlighting diet's added impact, though residual smoking effects can't be ruled out.

01:17Ultra-processed foods may raise lung cancer risk through obesity, inflammation, additives,

01:25and disrupted gut health. Their cumulative impact likely drives disease, reinforcing the value of whole,

01:31unprocessed diets.

01:36The large long-term study linked UPFs to higher lung cancer risk, though recall errors and smoking

01:43data limits mean it can't prove causation. Still, experts urge cutting UPFs as a precaution.

01:53Small, realistic swaps make cutting UPFs easier. Replace sodas and snacks with whole foods,

01:59cook simple meals, read labels, and choose real ingredients.

02:03Every gradual change supports long-term health.
