Eating disorders can be extremely dangerous and potentially deadly illnesses. Research indicates that anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental health condition, and 10,200 people die each year due to an eating disorder. Because of this, hospitalization for eating disorders is sometimes necessary to help stabilize a person’s condition. People with eating disorders frequently experience medical complications, which can affect all systems of the body. As a result, sometimes people with eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, may require treatment in a hospital or residential treatment center (RTC). At a Glance Both inpatient hospitalization and residential treatment centers for…
In recent years, there’s been increasing hype about the potential health risks associated with so-called “ultra-processed” foods. But new evidence published this week found not all “ultra-processed” foods are linked to poor health. That includes the mass-produced wholegrain bread you buy from the supermarket. While this newly published research and associated editorial are unlikely to end the wrangling about how best to define unhealthy foods and diets, it’s critical those debates don’t delay the implementation of policies that are likely to actually improve our diets. What are ultra-processed foods? Ultra-processed foods are industrially produced using a variety of processing techniques.…

Ultra-processed foods, such as ready-to-eat meat, fizzy drinks, ice cream and sugary cereals are linked to a higher risk of early death, according to a new study. The U.S.-based research, published Wednesday in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), found that over a span of 34 years, people who consumed a greater quantity of highly-processed foods (averaging seven servings per day) faced an increased risk of mortality compared to those who consumed fewer servings (averaging three servings per day).“The association is quite linear. The higher intake of ultra-processed foods, the higher mortality,” said Mingyang Song, senior author and associate professor of…
What alternatives are there to ultra-processed foods?Preparing meals and snacks from scratch with unprocessed or minimally processed ingredients is ideal, but for most of us this simply isn’t possible all the time. The good news is there are non-UPF versions of many UPFs – these products are processed rather than ultra-processed. Many organic versions of common UPFs, such as tins of baked beans and non-dairy milk alternatives, are not ultra-processed. For example, most ready-meal lasagne is an UPF but Tesco and Marks & Spencer both sell versions that are processed but not ultra-processed, and both score B for “good nutritional quality”. Dr…

Ultra-processed foods encompass a broad category ranging from cookies, doughnuts and potato chips to hot dogs, white bread and frozen meals.…
