CHICAGO -- MRI scans have revealed that eating ultraprocessed foods is associated with higher amounts of fat stored inside thigh muscles, according to a study presented December 4 at RSNA. The finding remained significant in participants regardless of their total daily caloric intake, physical activity, or body mass index, and suggests that diets high in ultraprocessed foods could increase the risk for knee osteoarthritis, noted presenter Zehra Akkaya, MD, a postdoctoral researcher at the Univer
