Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, killing 87% of patients within five years. Previous studies have shown that obesity can increase pancreatic cancer risk by around 50%. In a new study from UC Davis, researchers showed evidence that switching from a high-fat diet to a low-fat diet slowed pancreatic precancer development in mice, even after weight gain and precancerous changes began. The research was published in the Journal of Nutrition.

Studies suggest, however, that nearly two-thirds of the average American diet consists of highly processed or “ultra-processed” foods. And growing scientific scrutiny and public concern are forcing policymakers to take a closer look at what these foods are — and what they may be doing to our health. “We’re creating ingredients so rapidly, we don’t have time to study them,” said Alyson Mitchell, a professor and food chemist in the UC Davis Department of Food Science and Technology.
