Study: Eating processed food is killing you faster

The researchers theorised that the high-temperature processing methods for these foods may form contaminants in them, the packaging lead to contaminants entering, or the additives put in to preserve them might be carcinogenic.

"This is an association, and we cannot prove that it is causal," said one of the paper's co-authors, Mathilde Touvier. "People may be scared and think they're going to die if they eat these foods," she said, "but we need not be alarmist."
