This The New York Times article presents a new study about ultra-processed foods that is undergoing in the USA and it is expected to finish in late2025.
🍩 Ultra-processed foods encompass a large range of foods and drinks that are made using methods and ingredients we wouldn’t typically use or find in a home kitchen. Sodas, processed meats, and flavored yogurts are part of this category, as are most breakfast cereals, packaged breads and plant milks.
🥪 The majority of ultra-processed food contains certain combinations of enticing nutrients — like fats, sugars, sodium, and carbohydrates — that might trigger the brain’s reward system in a way that makes people want to eat a lot of them.
🔎 This study aims to understand the underlying mechanism of how ultra-processed food helps people gain weight.
🛒 Moreover, aims at helping food manufacturers who could use that information to make processed foods that are less likely to cause weight gain, such as by reducing their sodium or sugar, or by adding fiber, which adds bulk without adding calories.
😏 Choosing the healthiest and based on evidence our everyday food could be challenging.
