Walk into any grocery store, and you're immediately surrounded by a colorful, seductive world of convenience: frozen meals, grab-and-go snacks, sodas promising refreshment, and breakfast bars that promise energy on the run. But beneath the shiny packaging and clever marketing lies a silent epidemic—ultraprocessed foods are quietly driving the leading cause of death across North America: cardiovascular disease.

In fact, subtle but consistent signs often surface months before a diagnosis — if we learn how to recognize them. Why Screening Hasn't Been the Answer Over the last...
