Summary:
- This study looked at the effects of ultra-processed foods versus minimally processed foods on weight loss and other health outcomes.
- The study found that people who ate a diet of minimally processed foods lost more weight compared to those who ate a diet of ultra-processed foods, even though the calorie and nutrient content of the two diets was similar.
- The results suggest that the degree of food processing can impact weight and health, independent of the overall nutritional quality of the diet.
