Researchers reporting in Vancouver at the annual meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology have identified a higher risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) among adults who consumed a diet rich in ultra-processed foods, suggesting another field for inquiry about the potential role of industrial-produced edible food products in IBD.

The study, which was a meta-analysis of four studies, found a 47% greater risk of IBD in adults who consumed high levels of ultra-processed foods, compared with adults in reference groups.

“Our data are also consistent with other observational studies that found increased consumption of junk food, along with reduced intakes of fresh fruit and vegetables, are associated with the development of IBD. Because Americans consume over 60% of their calories in the form of ultra-processed foods, reductions in this level of consumption could meaningfully decrease the incidence of IBD,” wrote authors who were led by Eric Hecht, MD, PhD, MPH, president and executive director of the nonprofit Institute of Etiological Research, Boca Raton, Fla.

'On the other hand, we're treating marijuana as if it has no dangers, risks, or problems associated with it. It's a wonder substance that makes you feel better. Well, I don't think that's the right attitude to take toward marijuana either.'
