Study finds food processing alters metabolism and brain activity
Original: Food processing influences metabolism and brain activity
Researchers at Virginia Tech report that the degree of food processing affects not only metabolism but also brain activity, suggesting ultra-processed foods may influence the body and brain differently than whole foods. The findings add to growing scientific concern about how industrial food processing shapes appetite, energy use, and long-term health.
Why now: Renewed public and scientific debate over the health effects of ultra-processed foods.
