Scientists Reveal New Markers for Ultraprocessed Foods
Чтение
A new study looks at ultraprocessed foods. These foods make up almost 60% of the American diet. Molecules in blood and urine show how much energy comes from these foods.
Erikka Loftfield led the study, which was in PLOS Medicine. This study found markers for these foods. These markers can show if someone eats more or less of them.
These ultraprocessed foods include sugary cereals and frozen pizzas. They also include sodas and chips. It is hard to study the foods' effects because tracking diets is difficult.
Loftfield and her team used data from over 1,000 older adults. They looked at blood and urine samples. The team found many metabolites linked to ultraprocessed food intake.
Loftfield tested the tool in a study where people ate only processed foods. The team could tell what people ate. More research is needed, but this is a big step forward, says Dr. Mozaffarian.
