More than 8,000 billion dollars per year, according to the UN, is what “junk food” costs on a global scale, not counting medical expenses due to diseases caused by our diet. A conference that promises to be interesting is open to the public during the Quadrimed 2025 congress.
Diets low in whole grains, high in salt, low in fruits and vegetables, and too rich in processed meat are largely responsible for the cost of junk food.
“Over the course of a lifetime, relates Mathilde Touvier, who will give a public lecture during Quadrimed, we ingest around 30 tonnes of food and 50,000 liters of drinks.” We can clearly see what determining public health issues food represents! “Nutrition is today recognized as one of the main modifiable factors involved in determining the most widespread diseases in the industrialized world (obesity, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes)”warns the epidemiologist, emphasizing that the link between ultra-processed foods and several chronic pathologies has been scientifically established.
