Scientists hunt for hidden calories in your gut

NCT ID NCT06853288

Summary

This study aims to understand why ultra-processed foods might cause weight gain by measuring how many calories the gut absorbs from them. Researchers will compare two diets—one high and one low in ultra-processed foods—in 20 adults with obesity. They will analyze stool samples to see if the gut absorbs calories differently from each diet.
