RESUMEN
Resumen Los alimentos ultraprocesados son formulaciones industriales que están omnipresentes en todos los hoga res y las góndolas de los supermercados. Este grupo de alimentos incluye gaseosas, snacks, comidas listas para calentar como las pizzas, hamburguesas, nuggets, hasta los panes comerciales. Múltiples estudios de cohortes a largo plazo han demostrado que su consumo se asocia al aumento de la incidencia de obesidad, diabetes tipo 2, enfermedades cardiovasculares, cáncer colorrectal y mortalidad global. Además, generan huella de carbono e hídrica, con un impacto negativo en el medio am biente. La microbiota tendría un rol central generando inflamación metabólica (metainflamación). Necesitamos políticas públicas activas para reducir su consumo y promover hábitos alimenticios saludables y accesibles.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formula tions that are ubiquitous in every home and supermar ket aisle. This food group includes snacks, soft drinks, ready-to-eat products like pizzas, nuggets, burger till commercial breads. Multiple long cohort studies have shown a relationship between their consumption and the rise in the incidence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, colorectal cancer and all-cause mortality. In addition, UPFs generate carbon and water footprints with a negative impact in our environment. The intestinal microbiota would play a central role as a trigger of metabolic inflammation (metainflammation). We need to reduce consumption of UPFs and promote healthier and accessible eating habits. Official public policies are needed.
