The study evaluates the efficacy of cola consumption in resolving oesophageal food bolus impaction. Conducted as a randomised controlled trial, it compares cola ingestion with spontaneous resolution, concluding that cola did not significantly improve impaction resolution rates.
This population-based cohort study examines the link between ultra-processed food consumption and mortality. The study found that high consumption of ultra-processed foods correlates with a slight increase in all-cause mortality, especially non-cancer and non-cardiovascular causes. Meat, poultry, seafood, and processed ready-to-eat products showed the strongest association with higher mortality rates.
This study underscores the alarming increase in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among children globally from 1990 to 2018. With significant variations across regions, the rise is linked to increased obesity risks and highlights the need for policy interventions. The findings emphasize reducing intake among young people, especially in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa.
This review explores the growing evidence linking ultra-processed food consumption with various adverse health outcomes. It assesses epidemiological meta-analyses, focusing on correlations with obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and all-cause mortality. The findings emphasize the potential public health impact of dietary choices, underscoring the need for further intervention and regulatory approaches.
