This study found that ultra-processed foods lead to higher energy intake, faster eating rates, and increased weight gain compared to unprocessed real foods, even when calories and macronutrients are matched.

In just one week, eating ultra-processed foods led to about 1.5 pounds of added fat mass. These foods raise your blood triglycerides, they raise your liver enzymes, and cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.”
