Verbatim
“Lowering cholesterol doesn't have to be complicated - simple food swaps can make a big impact. From boosting soluble fibre to embracing heart-healthy fats, these small changes add up over time.”
“You still get the protein and calcium, but you're choosing a simpler product without the added flavourings, sweeteners and thickeners found in some flavoured yoghurts.”
“small dietary changes make a real difference, adding that the study raises concerns about today's "food environment", where ultra-processed foods are inexpensive, ubiquitous, and aggressively marketed.”
“You can't say from this study that UPFs cause cancer as it's observational, so we're looking at associations, not direct effects. But it does strengthen the case for looking more closely at the food environment many people are living in where UPFs are cheap, convenient, and heavily marketed, making them a go-to for many”
