Your favorite snacks could be quietly wrecking your knees, new research suggests
- A new study links ultraprocessed foods to more fat inside thigh muscles, potentially raising knee osteoarthritis risk.
- Researchers used MRI data from 615 individuals without osteoarthritis to assess muscle fat content.
- The link held regardless of total calories, weight, or exercise levels in the study.
- Study authors caution that diet was self-reported and cannot prove causation.
- Researchers call for balanced diet and exercise to help knee health.
