Researchers found that jawbones of individuals transitioning to an industrialized diet exhibit significant shrinkage in size and structure, correlating with reduced chewing demands of ultra-processed foods.
Studies indicate that agricultural diets produce smaller jaws compared to hunter-gatherer diets, reflecting evolutionary shifts linked to dietary changes over time.
Dr. Carolyn Rando highlighted that malocclusion has accelerated since the shift towards industrialized diets, struggling to align with anatomical changes prompted by softer food textures.
Emerging theories suggest that the soft nature of UPFs inhibits proper jawbone development in children, leading to potential dental issues later in life.
