As
chronic diseases, such as obesity and cancer, are becoming more widespread, many
research
institutions and universities are taking the initiative to identify
some of the underlying causes for
these conditions. Al Jazeera’s reporter, Neave
Barker, presents the findings of a study done in
France, which concludes that
there is a link between the consumption of highly processed foods
and the
increased risk of developing cancer. According to Barker’s report, “ultra-processed
foods
contain artificial ingredients” which have proved to be harmful to human
health, on both a short
term and long- term basis. Researchers hope that the
study will serve as a wake-up call for people
worldwide to minimize their
consumption of processed foods, develop good eating habits, and
ultimately achieve
healthy lifestyles. [124 words, 1 quote, 1 image, 1 link]
