Health effects of ultra-processed food intake
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares the health effects of a diet high in ultra-processed foods (like packaged snacks and sugary drinks) with a diet of less processed foods, to see how they affect your body. If you qualify, you'll eat these diets for a period of time, and researchers will monitor your health.
