@cheatdayeachday: On paper these meals were twins. Same calories, same protein, same fiber, same salt. One ultra-processed, one not. Blood sugar after? Basically the same. Insulin was not. Their bodies needed much more of it for about two hours after the processed meal, and the normal switch into carb burning mode got blunted. 32 people, both meals on different days, young healthy adults. One meal, so no forever claims. But the label said identical and the body said absolutely not. I eat ultra processed food too btw, not demonizing it. Just a genuinely interesting study. #ultraprocessedfood #nutritionresearch #dietitiantok #nutritiontips #foodscience
