Over-processed foods add 500 calories to your diet every day, causing weight gain, a new study says
People limited to a diet of primarily highly processed foods ate more calories and gained more weight than when their diet mostly consisted of minimally processed foods, the study published Thursday in Cell Metabolism finds. This small-scale study is the first randomized controlled trial -- considered the gold standard in science -- examining the effects of ultra-processed foods.
The study authors suggest that consumer confusion is another aspect of this problem. "The perpetual diet wars between factions promoting low-carbohydrate, keto, paleo, high-protein, low-fat, plant-based, vegan, and a seemingly endless list of other diets have led to substantial public confusion and mistrust in nutrition science," they wrote."Limiting consumption of ultra-processed foods may be an effective strategy for obesity prevention and treatment.
