Ah, interesting. I've seen it pushed on European news outlets recently, I assumed it was an EU thing.
But as to the rest of your point - we agree, it's a statistical analysis. It shouldn't be used in discussions about whether any one particular food is healthy or not. However, here and on reddit, I've seen several comments using it to claim that specific food items like oat milk are unhealthy.
- Scarblac 1y agoI look into the literature now and then and afaik there is no good explanation yet why HPFs lead to more obesity. People eat more of it, even compared to a less processed diet with the same amounts of various micronutrients. Only when we know what the actual mechanism is does it become useful to look at individual products, I believe.
