It is unknown how human health is affected by the current increased consumption of ultra-processed plant-based meat analogues (PBMA). In the present study, rats were fed an experimental diet based on pork or a commercial PBMA, matched for protein, fat, and carbohydrate content for three weeks. Rats on the PBMA diet exhibited metabolic changes indicative of lower protein digestibility and/or dietary amino acid imbalance, alongside increased mesenteric (+38%) and retroperitoneal (+20%) fat depositions despite lower food and energy intake.

Background: The prevalence of obesity and associated diseases, including several cancers, continues to rise.
Objective: Given the growing evidence that the degree of food processing impacts health, we investigated the relationship between the degree of food processing and the risk of obesity-related cancers (ORC).
Methods: We analyzed data from 17,756 participants in the "Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra" (SUN) project, a prospective cohort of Spanish graduates.

Objective: To explore whether people with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods have significantly increased high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a sensitive inflammatory marker and accurate predictor of cardiovascular disease.
Methods: United States (US) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationally representative sample of 9,254 that included ultra-processed foods as percentage of total energy intake using the validated NOVA classification system. We used means and percentages as measures of effect, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) (p<0.

Background: Obesity and the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) are associated with gut microbiota composition and diversity, which may contribute to alterations in the regulation of hormones involved in satiety, given the gut microbiota's role in regulating host appetite. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of gut microbiota composition and alpha-diversity at the genus-level on postprandial changes in satiety hormones, and appetitive measures in individuals with obesity, given either a meal rich in UPF or a meal without UPF.
Methods: Individuals were randomized to two groups: a) a non-UPF meal and b) a UPF meal.

Introduction: Consumption of ultra-processed foods has been linked with poor health outcomes. Using the Nova food classification system to measure the level of food processing, this study assessed whether foods selected by food pantry clients were more favorable following a behavioral economics food pantry intervention.
Methods: The study analyzed secondary data from a group-randomized evaluation in 11 Minnesota food pantries.
