Ultra-processed foods linked with buck teeth in children says study
Feeding children ultra-processed foods like cereals and ready meals leads to shrinking jaw sizes, increasing risks of dental deformities such as buck teeth, warns a study by the Catholic University of Valencia. The shift to soft, hyper-palatable diets reduces necessary chewing, impacting jaw development and promoting malocclusion, obesity, and other health issues.
