    AbstractUltra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations that are ubiquitous in every home and supermarket 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.
