Les aliments ultra-transformés sont des produits industriels fabriqués avec beaucoup d'ingrédients qu'on n'utilise pas en cuisine : additifs, arômes, colorants, émulsifiants. On les trouve partout : en-cas, sodas, plats préparés, certaines céréales. Ils sont pratiques, bon marché et souvent conçus pour qu'on en mange beaucoup. De nombreuses études les associent à des problèmes de santé quand on en consomme beaucoup, même si les scientifiques débattent encore des causes exactes. Un conseil simple : lire les étiquettes et cuisiner davantage. Structures : The more..., the more / the less... ; has been linked to.
