How processed foods affect energy from food
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how eating ultra-processed foods changes how much energy your body takes from food. If you have a BMI between 30 and 40 and are otherwise healthy, you may help scientists learn more about weight and metabolism.
