New clinical study aims to understand health impacts, mechanisms behind ultra-processed foods

A new clinical study led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is set to explore the health impacts and mechanisms behind ultra-processed foods, which are prevalent in the American diet. The study, announced on April 1, 2024, will investigate how these foods affect the body, potentially leading to chronic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Researchers aim to understand the biological and physiological effects of ultra-processed foods by comparing them to minimally processed foods in a controlled setting. This research is crucial as ultra-processed foods, which often contain high levels of added sugars, fats, and artificial ingredients, make up a significant portion of the U.S. diet and are linked to various health issues.
