A study published in the British Medical Journal finds people who consume high amounts of these foods have an increased risk of anxiety, depression, obesity, metabolic syndrome, certain cancers including colorectal cancer and premature death.
The data come from more than 9 million people who participated in dozens of studies, which researchers analyzed as part of umbrella review.
Does the study take into account confounding variables like poverty?
With over 9 million people studied, probably.
Sample size doesn’t mean that confounding variables were calculated though? It def means it could be possible though.
