Food processing shown to alter metabolism and brain activity

Original: Food processing influences metabolism and brain activity

Researchers at Virginia Tech report that the degree of food processing affects both metabolism and brain activity, suggesting ultraprocessed foods may influence the body and brain differently than whole foods. The findings add to growing scientific and public debate over how modern processed diets contribute to overeating and metabolic health problems.

Why now: Concern about the health effects of ultraprocessed foods is a major ongoing public health debate.
