New @JAMAOnc study links ultraprocessed foods to colorectal polyps in under-50s. But classifying foods was tricky, notes Fred Hutch's Dr. Marian Neuhouser, making results less certain. Still, findings echo recent research. Read more: https://nyti.ms/3M1ZfXL
Ultraprocessed Foods Linked to Colorectal Cancer Risk in Women Under 50
The study's findings track with recent research on the alarming rise of the cancer in younger adults.
