Convenience Culture’s Hidden Toll: Study Links Ultra-Processed Foods to Reduced Lifespan and Environmental Harm

by Willow Tohl April 15, 2025

Excerpt:

A study tracking 500,000 participants linked high UPF consumption to increased mortality risk. Reducing intake could reverse a "convenience tax" harming longevity and environmental health.

UPFs (e.g., microwave meals, sugary snacks) lower diet quality, raise BMI and trigger inflammation. Younger generations now consume UPFs at higher rates than older ones did midlife.

There is little to be gained by living longer than around 75 years.

Age takes terrible tolls in many ways, and retirement homes have millions of seniors who are fed, bathed, and dressed to sit and watch television and nothing else.
This is no way to live.

Three of my brothers range from 72-77 in age are doing well not even close to needing a Nursery home maybe it is luck, genetics and/or better eating that is keeping them active.

Being in a nursery home at age 75 is bad my dad stayed in his own home till he died in his favorite chair at age 93 a week after I last visited him.

It appears I will spend the rest of my days without moving again since housing cost is absurd, while mine is becoming a bargain at just $790/month if I need any help, it will be visits from a care facility not going to sit next to men who use depends all day..... watching TV which I don't at home at all.

I was just reading that Autism is also linked to these foods. The major culprit of many things is Lectin from seed oils. Lectin is being found to inhibit brain development during pregnancy. Lectin (seed oils) is used in almost all hyper processed foods.

Real butter and beef talo are better because they are natural and do not cause these problems during pregnancy. 

My grandson has sever autism. He stim's, bangs his head, can barely communicate at age three. I have learned a lot from his doctors that no one wants to get out. 1 in 20 males today have some level of autism.
