NCT ID NCT07213245
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how eating ultra-processed foods affects appetite and how much people eat. Twenty-four healthy adults will eat different breakfasts—some high in processed foods, some low—and then report their hunger and fullness. Researchers will also measure hormones and how much they eat at lunch. The goal is to understand if processed foods change appetite signals, which could help explain obesity.
