Vocabulary Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. What does “cohort study”<\/strong> mean? “The researchers analysed data from the Gemini twin cohort study<\/strong>, using the Nova classification to divide the food and drink consumed into four groups: unprocessed or minimally processed foods (eggs, milk, vegetables, fish and fruit); processed culinary ingredients (salt, butter and oil); processed foods (tinned fish, peanut butter and cheese); and UPFs (cereals, yoghurts, industrially made sliced bread, biscuits, sausages, crisps).”<\/em> Use it in a sentence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. What does “hyperpalatable” <\/strong>mean? “The research team said this may be partly attributable to the “hyperpalatable<\/strong>” nature of these UPFs, as they tend to be foods higher in fat, sugar and\/or salt.”<\/em> Use it in a sentence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What does “redress” <\/strong>mean? “The researchers called for policies to redress <\/strong>the balance of children’s diets towards a lower proportion of UPFs, such as restricting the promotion of unhealthy foods marketed towards children, adding warning labels to products (e.g. those that are high in sugar), and subsidizing fresh and minimally processed food.”<\/em> Use it in a sentence. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
