                                While smoking remains the primary risk factor for lung cancer, accounting for the vast majority of cases, a 2025 study in the journal *Thorax* revealed that high consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with a 41% increased risk of lung cancer. This growing evidence suggests that dietary choices, once thought to be secondary, play a more significant and independent role in modulating lung cancer risk than previously understood.
