“…There is increasing recognition of the association between dietary patterns based on ultra‐processed foods, as defined by the NOVA food classification system, and adverse health outcomes, including weight gain, obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, myocardial infarction and stroke, gastrointestinal disorders, total and breast cancer, and all‐cause mortality among adults; and increased waist circumference, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome among children. National estimates have shown that ultra‐processed foods provide on average 58% of daily energy in the US general population's diet, and an increased trend in its consumption has been observed between 2007 to 2008 and 2011 to 2012, more specifically among adolescents …”

Background: There is cumulative recognition that increases in the dietary share of ultra-processed foods result in deterioration of the nutritional quality of the overall diet and adverse health outcomes. Objective:The purpose of this study was to assess the consumption of ultraprocessed foods and to examine its association with added sugar content in the diet of US children aged 2 to 19 years. Methods:We classified all food items according to the NOVA food classification system and looked at the consumption of ultra-processed foods, measured as percentage of total energy intake. We assessed dietary added sugar content by estimating its contribution to total energy intake and the proportion of individuals with diets exceeding the recommended limit of 10% of total energy intake from added sugars. We also examined the proportion of those who surpassed twice that limit. Gaussian and Poisson regressions estimated the association between consumption of ultra-processed foods and estimates of added sugar content.Results: Ultra-processed foods contributed to 65% of total energy intake and to 92% of energy from added sugars in the diet of US children. The mean percent energy provided by added sugars in the observed period was 14.3%. Most individuals (70.9%) had diets exceeding the recommended limit of added sugar (<10% of total energy intake), and 18.4% of the population had diets surpassing twice the recommended level (20% of total energy intake). A 5.5% point increase in the dietary share of ultra-processed foods determined a 1 percentage point increase in the dietary content of added sugars, with stronger adjusted associations among younger children. Conclusions:Public health efforts to reduce added sugars in the diet of US children must put greater emphasis on decreasing the consumption of ultra-processed foods.

“…A tendency of higher consumption of added sugar (refined sugar, honey, corn syrup) and UPF was found among children with overweight, diagnosed with food addiction [28]. A high UPF intake has also been associated with an increased waist circumference [29], dyslipidaemia [30], metabolic syndrome [31], asthma and wheezing among children [32], hypertension [33], metabolic syndrome [34], myocardial infarction and stroke [35], gastrointestinal disorders, total and breast cancer [36], depression, and all-cause mortality among adults [37].…”

“…Higher consumption of soft drinks/sweetened beverages was positively correlated with body fat whereas showed that higher consumption of ready-to-eat cereals was negatively correlated with body fat. Costa et al [11] reported a positive correlation for the increase in waist circumference of those children consuming more ultra-processed food. The ill effect of ultra-processed foods on abdominal obesity at merely 8 years of age is a huge area of concern as it may be a risk factor for impaired glucose metabolism in later life.…”

“…Consumption of ultra-processed foods negatively affects the nutritional quality of diets. Nevertheless, sales of these ultra-processed products are rising rapidly globally though the impact of ultra-processed food consumption on non-communicable diseases (NCD's) has turned out to be a global epidemic [11].…”

Background: The present study was aimed to review the consumption pattern and health implications of convenience foods in regular life. The term 'Convenience food' is being widely used in the catering industry due to rapid progress in food technology. Consumption of convenience foods is inexorable in modern scenarios due to rapid urbanization, changing lifestyle, rising purchasing power and adaptation to western culture. Methods: A constructive review work was done from available data sources and available literatures. Results: The Indian ‘Ready-to-Eat (RTE)’ market reached at Rs 2900 crore and Rs 3500 crore in 2015 and 2016 respectively. RTE foods are growing at 40% per year. According to the World Health Organization, the trend towards surplus convenience foods provides the food industry with various commercial opportunities and profitable outcome for the food manufacturers. However, these foods are regarded as one of the least healthy dietary options, contributing to the health and diet-related diseases comparable to the risks associated with smoking, alcohol and drugs. Conclusion: Excessive consumption of convenience foods is one of the major factors for the higher incidence of obesity and other non-communicable diseases.
