Real-world data suggested that more than half of daily energy intake is coming from processed and ultra-processed foods in most western countries. This high consumption of processed foods is of concern, given laboratory and epidemiological studies' findings that prove overwhelming harms of processed foods on human health.
Data demonstrate that consumption of processed foods is increasing with more reports linking ultra-processed foods to various medical conditions; namely, obesity, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. Scientific community's understanding of the mechanisms and substances by which processed foods are affecting human health is expanding. Holistic approach to the current critical situation is advisable and requires collaborative public health strategies. The current review describes recent classification of processed foods and highlights the pertinent findings in the relationship between processed foods and health. It also outlines key clinical data relevant to the topic.
综述目的： 真实世界的数据表明，在大多数西方国家，超过一半的日常能量摄入来自加工食品和超加工食品。鉴于实验室和流行病学研究发现加工食品对人类健康有极大危害，这种对加工食品的高消耗令人担忧。
最新发现： 数据表明，加工食品的消费正在增加，越来越多的报告将超加工食品与各种医疗条件联系起来；即肥胖、代谢综合征、动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病和某些类型的癌症。科学界对加工食品影响人类健康的机制和物质的理解正在扩大。对当前这种危急情况采取全面的方法是明智的，需要采取协同的公共卫生策略。本综述描述了加工食品的最新分类，并强调了加工食品与健康之间关系的相关发现。它还概述了与该主题相关的关键临床数据。
