View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
Controversy remains around the role of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and health outcomes. A key question that remains to be answered is: when diet quality is the same, does food processing itself have any independent health effects? The current application aims to isolate the health effects of food processing from those of diet quality through the conduct of a dietary intervention study.
