Large U.S. study finds no overall link between ultra-processed foods and colorectal cancer, but specific types matter

NBC News reports that a large study found no overall link between ultra-processed foods and colorectal cancer, raising questions about their role in rising rates among younger people. A user sharing the report says the study involved more than 450,000 U.S. adults and argues that the finding received little coverage. The user adds that ultra-processed foods supplied fiber and calcium and were associated with lower risk.
