Scanning through the data,

The ultra-processed foods group had mean caloric intakes at baseline (2009kcal), 4 weeks (1763kcal), and 8 weeks (1769kcal).

Compared to the minimally-processed food group's intake amounts of baseline (1938kcal), 4 weeks (1334kcal), 8 weeks (1463kcal).

Ok? So the finding is that the fewer calories you take in, the more weight you lose. Do we really need yet another study about this?

    I've seen a few studies on calorie-free sweeteners inducing consumption thereby increasing calorie intake. If the story here is that eating ultraprocessed foods reduces willpower, do you maintain your dismissive stance?

      Are you saying you saw that here in this story? If so, i missed it.

        If that wasn't the correlation they set out to measure, they'd be accused of p-hacking. Studies like this are useful for meta-analysis.
