It’s pretty much common sense that people know eating junk and lots of it is going to put on weight. What the study indicates is that the chemicals in ultra processed foods also have an addictive quality that makes you eat even more than you normally would! My wife and I have suspected this for a long time. I don’t think this fact will change people’s habits. Addiction is hard to conquer in any form!
Interesting stuff! I suppose the hypothesis would also explain why individuals can find success losing weight with so many different kinds of diets. Whatever their differences, I'm sure most diets don't call for ultraprocessed foods and people who are thinking about what they're eating probably know to stay away from them instinctually.
