🦴 A Tulane University study published in The British Journal of Nutrition links higher consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) to poorer bone health, including lower bone mineral density and an increased risk of hip fractures.

🦴 The study, involving over 160,000 participants from the UK Biobank and followed for 12 years, found that for every 3.7 extra servings of UPFs consumed daily, the risk of hip fracture rose by 10.5%.

🦴 This relationship was particularly noticeable in individuals under 65 and those who are underweight (BMI less than 18.5), suggesting UPFs may disproportionately affect bone health in these groups.
