研究人员说,超加工食品,像香烟一样, 被设计成上瘾和驱动疾病, 要求严格监管。 Ultra-processed foods, like cigarettes, are engineered to be addictive and drive disease, researchers say, calling for strict regulations.

2026年2月3日《Milbank季刊》刊登的哈佛、密歇根大学和杜克大学研究人员的一项新研究发现,超加工食品(UPFs)与香烟分享成瘾设计特征,导致肥胖、糖尿病和心脏病。 A new study by Harvard, University of Michigan, and Duke University researchers, published in the Milbank Quarterly on February 3, 2026, finds ultra-processed foods (UPFs) share addictive design features with cigarettes, contributing to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. 报告认为,UPF是设计来通过高糖、盐、脂肪和添加剂实现消费最大化的,其营销策略如 " 低脂肪 " 误导消费者,类似于以往的烟草广告。 The report argues UPFs are engineered to maximize consumption through high sugar, salt, fat, and additives, with marketing tactics like “low fat” misleading consumers—similar to past tobacco advertising. 研究人员敦促制定更严格的条例,包括营销限额和行业问责制,以解决公共卫生危机,强调系统变革而不是个人指责。 Researchers urge stricter regulations, including marketing limits and industry accountability, to address the public health crisis, emphasizing systemic change over individual blame.
