Where this comes from

Abstract

Increased ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in the food supply have plausibly caused the rise in obesity prevalence and related chronic diseases. To address this public health concern, policies targeting reformulation or elimination of UPF categories will require improved understanding of the biological mechanisms whereby UPFs lead to overconsumption and poor health.
