A study of over 22,000 adults in Italy found that those who consumed higher amounts of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) showed signs of accelerated biological aging. 

UPFs, such as packaged snacks and sugary drinks, may impact aging through compounds formed during processing, packaging chemicals, and alterations to the food’s natural structure.
