The research, led by scientists at the University of Bristol and co-authored by top US nutritional experts, revealed that people following a completely unprocessed diet ate more than 50% greater amounts of food than those eating just UPFs (ultra-processed food), yet still consumed on average 330 fewer calories from food daily.
The findings, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, shed exciting new light on how humans make food choices and give further weight to the idea we have an inbuilt ‘nutritional intelligence’ to achieve a well-balanced diet, which kicks in when eating food in its natural form but is impaired by today’s fast-food culture.
