- thegrim33 1y agoScanning through the data, The ultra-processed foods group had mean caloric intakes at baseline (2009kcal), 4 weeks (1763kcal), and 8 weeks (1769kcal). Compared to the minimally-processed food group's intake amounts of baseline (1938kcal), 4 weeks (1334kcal), 8 weeks (1463kcal). Ok? So the finding is that the fewer calories you take in, the more weight you lose. Do we really need yet another study about this?

- boothby 1y agoI've seen a few studies on calorie-free sweeteners inducing consumption thereby increasing calorie intake. If the story here is that eating ultraprocessed foods reduces willpower, do you maintain your dismissive stance?
- jjtheblunt 1y agoAre you saying you saw that here in this story? If so, i missed it.
- boothby 1y agoIf that wasn't the correlation they set out to measure, they'd be accused of p-hacking. Studies like this are useful for meta-analysis.
