00:00A silent cancer sign is now hidden in a daily habit affecting 60% of Americans,
00:05and most have no idea they are doing it.
00:07Researchers have linked frequent consumption of ultra-processed foods
00:11to a measurable rise in colorectal cancer risk in adults under 50.
00:16Ultra-processed foods include chips, frozen meals, sugary drinks, packaged snacks, and most fast food.
00:24They make up over 60% of the average American daily calorie intake.
00:28The American Cancer Society reports colorectal cancer in younger Americans has been climbing fast since 2010.
00:36Doctors point to the diet shift as a leading suspect.
00:39Beyond cancer, the same foods raise risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke,
00:45by significant margins in long-term studies.
00:48The fix is not perfect eating.
00:50It is reducing the worst offenders.
00:52Daily soda, daily fast food, daily packaged snacks,
00:56and replacing them with whole foods most days.
00:59Small changes compound.
01:01The American adult who skips one ultra-processed meal a day
01:04eats 365 fewer such meals a year.
01:08That is real protection.
01:09have a low-classed meal a day
01:09and go to the fixed income of saloon market.
01:09themselves to pay attention to all of them.
01:10And I hope that doesn't see any of sizant
