Dec. 4 (UPI) – Consuming more packaged breakfast cereals and snacks, margarine and spreads, hot dogs, sodas and energy beverages, candy and desserts, mass-produced bakery products and other ultra-processed food is linked to higher levels of fat in thigh muscles, a new study found.
The research looking at the muscle quality of 666 obese men and women with an average age of 60, which is to be presented Wednesday to the Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting in Chicago, found the association regardless of calorie count or how physically active study subjects were, RSNA said in a news release.
