How ultra-processed foods are ruining your health

According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadians are the second largest consumers of ultra-processed foods and drinks in the world, second only to Americans.

But those same ultra-processed foods are wreaking havoc on our health.
These foods, which include sugary drinks, packaged snacks and ready to eat meals, are linked to at least 32 damaging health outcomes, according to a new study – including cancer, major heart and lung conditions, mental health disorders and early death.
