Ultra-processed Foods

A good article I just read is "The ultra-processed foods problem is driven by commercial interests, not individual weakness. Here's how to fix it" It is at theconversation.com, dated 11.18.25. The authors are Phillip Baker and four other writers.

Here are some salient points: 

"...this paper shows diets high in ultra-processed foods induce overeating and are nutritionally poor: more sugars, saturated fat and energy density, less fibre and key vitamins and minerals, and fewer whole foods."

"Clinical trials show that when adults eat diets heavy in ultra-processed foods, they consume about 500-800 extra calories per day, gain weight and fat mass, and eat more rapidly, when compared with eating a non-ultra-processed diet with the same proportions of macronutrients."
