🔬 New study in Nature Medicine reveals that not all healthy diets are created equal — even when nutrient content is matched, 🍞 ultra-processed foods (UPFs) hinder weight loss compared to 🥗 minimally processed foods (MPFs).
📉 Participants lost twice as much weight on MPF diets, with greater reductions in fat mass and cravings.
🔍 This landmark trial urges public health policy to consider food processing—not just nutrients.
📎 A must-read for clinicians, policymakers, and anyone shaping the future of nutrition:
