Health Effects of Ultra-processed Food Intake
Health Effects of Ultra-processed Food Intake: a Randomized Crossover Feeding Study
Göteborg University
40 participants
Jun 25, 2026
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Ultra-processed food (UPF) intake has been related to negative health effects and increased energy intake in previous intervention studies. Thus, previous studies have seen weight gain from higher UPF intake which obscures the potential to see effects on cardiometabolic biomarkers, independent of weight changes. The overall aim of this project is to study the causal effects of a high UPF diet, compared to a nutrient-matched low UPF diet, on appetite and cardiometabolic health in a weight-stable context.
