夏说英语新闻晨读 第483期:过度加工食品易致癌

 本期内容：

Researchers discovered that people who eat more ultra-processed foods have a higher risk of cancer. Such foods are the ones with unrecognizable and unpronounceable words on the list of ingredients – anything from the candy that turns your tongue blue to healthier-sounding canned soups packed with artificial flavors, additives¹ or emulsifiers. Research has long showed that people who live on ultra-processed food tend to be more obese² and overweight. They’re also more likely to have heart and circulation problems or diabetes³, studies have found.
